Version 1.1 Out Now! Introducing 10k Fingers Ability.

Bar Breaker
A downloadable game for Windows

Hope everyone is enjoying unleashing their arsenal against the tyrannical bar!

I've been busy polishing and balancing the game, and thanks to some feedback from PCubiles I have been able to make a number of improvements to the game.


Ten-Thousand Fingers

This new ability opens up once you have purchased all of the skills.

Before, this would make money useless after purchasing all of the skills while in a run.

With this new ability, you can click a new button at the bottom of the screen that will rain down pointer attacks and deal roughly 20x more damage than standard clicks for a cost of $10k per-click.

The button can be held down as well, and takes into consideration the current Idle Click Delay stat when determining speed of use.

It will be unavailable after performing a prestige, since it resets your skills, unless you have mastered them all.


Balancing:

  • Player Stat upgrades have been balanced to make them more generous.
  • Speed of the job abilities has been slowed down a bit, they were extremely fast.
  • Breath and other sweeping abilities (move from top-left to top-right and vice versa) have had their duration on screen greatly increased.
  • Various balancing with element damages from attacks.

Changes:

  • Added a new "Ten-Thousand Fingers" ability that allows the player to pay $ to perform more powerful clicks, once all abilities are purchased in a run.
  • Changed the level display of the bar to “[level]/[max bar level]” instead of simply reading “Lvl [level]” to clarify primary goal of game.

Additions:

  • Added unique music while mastering skills.
  • Added a button next to the money display that opens the upgrade menu. Useful for those who haven’t discovered the “Esc” hotkey.
  • Added a flashing effect to the upgrade button when a new skill has been unlocked.
  • Added a “Quick Save” button that can also be right-click held to delete the current save.
  • Added a health bar to the details panel for a clearer look at the state of the bars health.
  • Added a slider for the Background Music, Sound Effects, and Bloom values, which can be accessed by right-clicking on the buttons.

Bugs:

  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused skills to play the unlock animation while menu was closed.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the breath abilities to sweep across the screen too fast.
  • Fixed an issue that played incorrect audio for breath abilities.
  • Fixed a bug that caused sound effects to continue to play when muted if already playing while muting.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause upgrades to reset to their previous level after prestige if the game was reloaded before purchasing again.
