New gamemode: Speedrun Mode!

Speedrun Mode is a separate gamemode that you can enter by pressing (B) button.

° Once you enter Speedrun Mode, on completing a level, you instantly go to the next level.  
To exit Speedrun Mode to Level Select, press (Menu). You will be asked to confirm exiting. If you want to exit, you may choose whether to save the stats for your run.  
If you finish the speedrun, you will see the number of total shots, bounces, & time of completion.¹ 😀  
The theme you choose will also apply to Speedrun Mode.

° Also, you now have a few more le 💥 \ ð – ° ß  
Wait, what just happened? I guess something blew up the levels. Speaking of which, when you bounce off of TNT, it explodes cracked bricks nearby².

Bye for now.

> ****
>
> Notes:  
> ¹ - Restarting the game does not count towards or against your score.
> 
> ² - The TNT ONLY blows up cracked bricks for now.

It’s time to wake this game up after a year and a half of letting it sleep. We got new stuff to unpack!!  
~ I put 2 new themes:  
- - Dungeon, a dark place with chains connecting the underground platforms  
- - and Abstract, which is based on [Abstract Space](https://arcade.makecode.com/S24003-48317-25921-93940).  
~ The aiming cursors are smoother now.  
~ I finished making Level 16. It has safety slings. You can respawn from them after death.  
~ New sounds for bouncing and explosions.  
~ Improved a lot of graphics.  
~ Plenty of bugs fixed:  
- - Starting Speedrun Mode from anywhere (including in Speedrun Mode). You can only start it from the menu.  
- - Targets no longer make the switching platforms flicker when the ball stands still.  
- - Speaking of which, they actually work the way they’re supposed to.

Anyways, that’s it for this update. So long for now!

Alright, hi again. I had to update this once again. I had a lot of ideas and a few bugs that needed to be fixed.

This game now has…

# _ **IMPACT FRAMES** _

when you hit a wall hard enough. And it also has

 
# _ **T R A I L S** _
 

when the speedy ball zooms through.

* * *

And finally, improved sounds and the aiming ~~cursors~~ guides are smoother now.

I’ll play the new version and tell you my scores later.

_Update the game and…_

New update adding another level with a frigid feature.

Ice cubes are slippery and not as bouncy as a regular floor.  
There’s also a new ending screen.

_show a highscore on this level_.
