Post Game Jam Changes
I've uploaded a new version of the game marked "(Latest)" adding some improvements and new features.
- Challenge mode added. Choose between NORMAL and CHALLENGE modes from the title menus. The Mode Select menu explains the difference between the two modes.
- Pause menu added showing the game's controls.
- You can now leave breadcrubs in the maze. This leaves a marker in the maze to indicate that you've been there before. This comes at an energy cost.
- Energy balls now flicker at increasing frequency to indicate that they're about to disappear.
- Energy balls that touch each other now combine, this resets the time it takes for the ball to disappear. Gamble some energy to keep precious energy balls from disappearing before you can get to them.
- Lighting adjusted to make it a bit easier to see what is going on.
- Collision detection on balls improved to they don't go through walls anymore.

Love the vibe, the music, visuals, atmosphere. Shooting through lots of spiky bois to get the big balls was very satisfying.
