Interesting how different it is on WP. I think it should be a separate category since there are triangle blocks which affects gameplay and strategy plus it is possible for two (maybe even more) ball items to spawn on a row whereas the original version it is only one per row. These are only two easily noticeable differences so far, there could be far more internal mechanics that could vary like RNG and ball physics, maybe even ball speed? I think a separate category is the most appropriate solution.
Thoughts?
Edit: In fact, two ball items can even spawn on the very first row
I feel like it should get it's own category, but the mod is the one who has to make decision.
As far as I know, the triangles don't act like triangles, rather squares. Also, while I am doing this, it appears this is UWP, so it also works on the windows app store for windows 10. I am thinking about making it a sub category, which the scores will be sub sub categories if this is the case though.
If you watch shot 13 on BrokeSatan's 25 run and focus on the red triangle block on the left you can see two balls that hit it and bounce off in an angle that wouldn't happen if it was a square so I'm certain they do act like triangles. This would also mean that in two rows next to each other, if a triangle block is directly above a square block it is possible hit the balls into the triangle's long side and bounce it down to hit the square and back to the hit the triangle again etc. Yet I still need to see proof of this and this is impossible in the original version as you need a gap/another row between two squares above one the other to do this method.
Edit: To clarify, this ball travels like this because of the triangle If the triangle was a square/acted like a square it would have gone like this
As you can see the outcome of shots and ball ricochets vary greatly with a block being a square or triangle.
I wasn't able to make sub sub categories (it broke the categories for whatever reason). So I just made it so that UWP had its own category, it looks a little sloppy, but I can;'t figure out how to make sub sub categories without the page breaking and showing that there are no runs.
I think it's not that bad atm. Maybe make a separate whole speedrun leader board for it? Like Ballz (Windows Phone) I've seen some other games do this when the game varies a lot on a certain platform
What do you mean by making a separate whole speedrun leaderboard? If you mean making it as a whole seperate game in the search bar, I think that is going a little too far for a game when you can simply make new categories.
