This update's main focus is Materials! Specifically, three new ones!
Paint balls
Paint balls can't score by default, they instead leave behind splotches of paint that give +1 base point to any ball that moves over it
Stone balls
Stone balls are extra heavy and don't move very far. However, they score themselves for 0.25x whenever they're hit
Wood balls
Wood are and come with a new hitbox
And just to have a better visual distinction between stone and frozen balls, frozen balls have a new look
These new materials are locked by default, and unlocked by defeating select pool sharks:
- Stone ball items are unlocked by defeating Gorgon Ramsay
- Paint ball items are unlocked by defeating Gennifer
- Wood ball items are unlocked by defeating Vessa

For the few people who read all the patch notes, I want to thank you again for playing this silly little billiards game. It really means a lot <3
I also want to give you a heads-up that this is the final major update before 1.0.
1.0 will be the biggest update to the game and as such, will likely take several months to complete. I'll make a bigger update about 1.0 in the future so stay tuned!
