Too many balls leads to slow down, about 100 balls seems to be the limit, you can have more but it'll create slow down.
Setting the speed to above 40x creates the black screen, it can't calculate where the balls are suppose to be and at really high speeds teleports the balls around so fast they don't even hit the bricks.
It's a very fun game, but I keep having issues with the game giving me the occasoinal blackscreen, which gets annoying after a while.
Really unfortunate that this (and other similar comments) won't be heard considering the fact the last time this game got updated was like 5 years ago.
weird tiny bug. nbd. i am finding that despite restarts i am unable to use my skill points. I have used them previously but at the moment the cursor keeps bugging out, not always initiating "mickey mouse hand" and when the hand is up it still wont respond to clicks on the buy button.
in general commentary though, this game is an awesome (on mute ha)
note: it is very important to me that i be able to save my black bricks after prestige so if possible make it your #1 priority to feed my addiction to this game
i found out that you need to have a section at a time in order to buy the next row with skill points. what i mean by this is that once you have all the 1 point skills unlocked, you can buy from the second row, etc.
The core pillars of Idle Breakout are bouncing balls, buyer's remorse, player confusion, and bait.
There's a good game hiding underneath all of that? But in order to access it, you have to trust the game by buying the things that you assumed were bad after the game has already tricked into buying the things that you assumed were good.
I would go so far as to say that the core mechanics of the game are coping with disappointment and online fact-checking, two things that we could all use a little more of, these days.
To fight boss brick, you need to kill a certain amount of black bricks, amount of black bricks you killed is under money, boss brick should say under it in black "x bb" where x is the amount of black bricks you need. (x could be 2000 or smth)
Having played this for a bit now, it seems like the game is its own worst enemy performance-wise as actually taking advantage of the many increasingly fast and scattering balls like the game wants me to makes it slow down to a crawl, which is very counter-productive when it's supposed to make progression faster. Even turning the visuals off doesn't seem to affect performance at all, so there's essentially a hard cap on speeding up progression before it instead becomes a lot slower.
I'm also a bit baffled by the boss mechanic making you not only refight every boss every time but also fight them an increasing number of times. The bosses themselves are a cool concept but adding exponentially more refights just drags out the game in a way that isn't fun and is way slower than any other form of progression. I get the skills are supposed to be special, but it's just too much and made me not want to bother.
That aside, this is a nice concept and I definitely had fun up to this point.
Progress was completly lost after restarting the browser. Don't understand why this game doesn't just use the local storage for saves or lets us export the save as a file, like basically any other game nowadays...
Wish I could export the save but clicking the button does nothing at all. Tried disabling all script- and ad-blockers and it still does nothing. It seems to be trying to use pastebin for something according to NoScript but it's not happening. I'm using Waterfox.
It seems suspiciously like you have introduced a memory leak in your recent update. After about twelve hours, I need to refresh the page or it will drop to about 1 frame every 2 seconds. I used to run for days with no speed drop and just the occasional "UNDEFINED" brick. I have yet to thoroughly investigate.
Sorry about that. There was a change on itch.io servers I wasn't aware of. I've posted a comment above that might help in recovering your lost progress.

It was actually updated 85 days ago. You can see this information by clicking the "More information" button under the game.

weird, because i was able to get skills from the second line without doing all the first line already. but ill try that.
same for me, but maybe it's just a feature in the game.
worked! thanks for your help.
Very cool game. But after 100 balls at maximum speed It became unplayable and keeps crashing(black screen) all the time 😔.
download the game, i had it running for 4 days straight with A LOT of scatter balls and it runs smoothly. if you have a bad computer it might be slow.
You know what would be nice, if you could idle this game, let it run in the background without it stopping and crashing, that'd be cool yeah.
So it's the speed that makes it crash, try not to go over 40x speed.
download the .exe file of it, it runs thousands of times smoother

balls
can you add fullscreen mode pls
dude my scatterball bugged and spawns infinite balls now lmoa
You broke 1 million blocks, new sound effect added..... why?
idk
how do i get bbs
You get bb's from destroying black bricks(I think they're available after level 100 or 110)
Is 100
spoop
I remember this from coolmathgames lmao
this game is so skibiti fanum tax
This is really fun
Neat, a bit deafening when going to a new level, though.
Incredibly fun
Uhh... my game blacks out randomly, it work for a while atfer a refresh but breaks again after a whle
it doesn't let me fight the Boss brick
To fight boss brick, you need to kill a certain amount of black bricks, amount of black bricks you killed is under money, boss brick should say under it in black "x bb" where x is the amount of black bricks you need. (x could be 2000 or smth)
thank you
i crashed the game on level 260 0 prestige
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
and maybe you should sell instead of delete them for half of the first price
so if you sell the yellow one you get $12 back
lost my data in that update... Kinda annoying but its fine. Ill get back to the top eventually
Still one of the best idle game out there, excellent job and thank you so much ♥
does this save
yes
how do you fight the boss?
I am using browser and cant fight the boss it doesnt start it if I press the button
nvm
My suspicion is "reached max sounds and no lower priority" being spammed at the console is responsible for the lag-out in a short period of time.
That isn't the only console message being spammed. once I hit about 50,000 messages my Chrome hangs, and I'm seeing about 100 messages a second.

you can export save, tho for some reason the thing doesnt work if you dont have the downloaded version of game

something here isnt right
and then i hovered over the basic ball (tried with plasma, too, but it only says that with basic)
its a glitch that can happen if you prestige you can claim infinity gold
Or A Code
Hi, Kodiqi,
It seems suspiciously like you have introduced a memory leak in your recent update. After about twelve hours, I need to refresh the page or it will drop to about 1 frame every 2 seconds. I used to run for days with no speed drop and just the occasional "UNDEFINED" brick. I have yet to thoroughly investigate.
What's with the "ads"? I just get a black screen that interrupts my game. There's no ad and there's no way to remove ads.
It was a meta-commentary on video games and their place in the modern, post-cromulent world of capitalism.
Or I had screwed up some code. Should be fixed now, either way.
Thanks For The Game Kodiqi :D
I Love You

====== NOTICE ======
There was a recent change on itch.io that resulted in save states being lost.
You can attempt to recover your progress by going to https://v6p9d9t4.ssl.hwcdn.net/html/1317921/index.html and exporting your save code, then import it at https://kodiqi.itch.io/idle-breakout
Sorry for the inconvenience.
so thats why im reset :(
It's working again-- first outage I've ever experienced-- but I lost my progress :(. Great game, though.

the game isnt working
Hey, this game isnt working :(
I dunno if downloading it would work but it definitely isnt working on the web version-
Web version is fixed now. I still recommend the download version though, it just runs better.
