First, we’d like to thank all the users who have already purchased the game. This switch to a free-to-play model will not affect those who paid for the game; we’ll be sending out gift packs to thank you for your continued support. As for those who haven’t purchased the game yet, you’ll be able to add it to your library for free in a week and enjoy it to your heart’s content.
The decision to switch to a free-to-play model is primarily due to recent poor revenue performance. We’ve seen virtually no new paying players, and our final sales barely covered the listing fees. However, the developers have been working hard—not only building a comprehensive Creative Workshop but also implementing a global leaderboard feature. This is likely the most feature-rich brick-breaking game among its peers on Steam. We hope this will attract more players and make the game’s ecosystem more vibrant.
To thank existing players, we’ve prepared a gift package containing 30,000 gold coins. Please email us at <[email protected]>, making sure to include your proof of purchase and your Steam ID (a 17-digit number visible in the URL at the top of your profile page). Here’s how to obtain your proof of purchase: Log in to your Steam account, click your username in the top-right corner, select “Account Details,” then find “View Purchase History” in the right-hand sidebar. Locate the record for purchasing this game, click to view detailed transaction information, and take a screenshot. Send the screenshot and your Steam ID to the email address above.
