Category: Dan-Ball Updates

This week an update is added that adds a nice little visual to the game.  At the top of the game window, there is constantly a bar detailing how many monsters are on the screen relative to how many monsters can be in screen before you get a game over.  Now that bar is color coded.  Every enemy type is now a different color on the bar and it helps detail what’s taking up most of the enemy count.

Two new instruments have been added today.  They are the Violin and the Cello.  In all honesty, they sound pretty good, and are welcome additions to the game.

Today we have a new compo item that is dropped by the boss of the Volcano.  It’s called the Anger Crown, and it’s quite weird.  It applies a variety of effects to your characters whenever you get a level up.  It’s an unusual effect for this point in the game because by the time you complete the Volcano, you’re likely to not have many levels left to go before reaching the level cap.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen anything having to do with Monster Box.  This update allows you to turn off the damage numbers.

Also, there is now a mobile version of this game available.

This update adds a bunch of different filters to the game.  Now it’s possible to make it so only low sounds or high sounds will be played and the like.

This update adds a single new drop to the game.  It’s a crown that is dropped by the final boss.  What it does is it raises the number of monsters that appear on any given screen.  I believe it’s possible to stack the effect too.  It can be quite useful for grinding.

This updates allows you to change the positioning of either edge of a line instrument.  It’s kind of neat.  I can see some art potential coming from this.

Today’s simple update allows you to change the volume of individual blocks and strings.

Today they’ve created a new update that adds a brand new type of instrument to the game.  It’s a line, that vibrates and plays music like the strings on a guitar.  There is also a new sound, “Acoustic Guitar.”  It’s neat new idea, and I hope we see a lot more new instruments in the future.
