NEW ARCADE GAME: FITTS PROTOCOL
A new game on the bedroom arcade cabinet. No powers, no auto-pop - just you, your mouse, and bubbles that shrink away.
Click the bubbles before they vanish. They appear full size and shrink to nothing. Click them yourself - the X Key works too.
You have 3 lives. Click empty space and you lose one. Lose all three and the run ends. A rare Heal globe gives one back.
Don't let too many escape. Every bubble that vanishes adds a mark under your lives. 10 marks cost a life. Every hit you land removes one mark.
Build your combo. Every hit in a row adds +1x to your points (x2, x3, x4...). Reach rank SS++ and the board catches fire: your points double, and every hit now adds +2x instead. One missed click resets it all.
Quick hits pay more. Click a bubble while it is still big and get 1.5x points.
7 waves, then the storm. Each wave brings a new bubble type worth double the points. After the last wave they all mix together, faster and faster, until you fall.
7 bonus globes. 2X Spawn, 2X Points, 2X Size and Immunity last 5 seconds each (grab another to extend). The Burger is an instant jackpot. The Heal gives a life back. The Skull is a trap - it takes points and breaks your combo, so let it fade.
Made to feel good. Your cursor leaves a comet trail, every globe sends a wave across the board, gummy pops have the mythic crit sting, the fire creeps in from the edges, and your last life makes the heart monitor race.
A full report at the end. Your score, your rank and how long you held it, accuracy, best multiplier, every bubble type and globe you got. Beating your own best or passing someone on the leaderboard is announced during the run.
Its own leaderboard. Fitts uses points, not XP, so it has its own Steam board and does not affect your XP records or unlocks.
Safe pause. Middle-click pauses and locks your cursor in place, so unpausing never causes a missed click.
Changes
Arcade games are cheaper. A coin now costs at most 10 mystery globes instead of 44. It still starts at 1 and goes up by 1 each run you finish.
Arcade machine channel strip. Only the joystick changes the channel now, not the mouse. Game names always fit on one line, and the EXIT / START labels are a bit smaller.
Weapon slots on Easy. The Eye, The Drone and The Camera give 1 weapon slot. The Chronos and The Sharp give 2. The Fan and The Blade give 3. The Spine and The Core give 4. On Hard, The Camera drops to 1 slot, and on Insane to 0.
Read your weapons while picking a power. You can now hover your weapons and keepables during the power choice to see their info.
Faceless now says "2 or less" instead of "less than 3". Same rule, clearer wording.
