- Star Pocket: Balls that enter this slot gain 50% more points. Price - 7 Coins.
- Gold Pocket: When a ball enters this slot, you gain 1 Gold. It can be activated once per round. Price - 4 Coins.
- Forge Pocket: Tokens from balls that enter this slot are leveled up. Price - 9 Coins

“Darts are unlocked after clearing Stage 3 once and become available in the next game. They start appearing from Stage 2 and modify the roulette.”

“Darts add various positive or negative effects to the round, providing diversity to regular rounds. The number of Darts increases as you progress through the stages, with 0 to 3 Darts appearing per round.”

“Additionally, Pocket Packs have been introduced, allowing a new way to adjust the numbers on the roulette. After selecting the corresponding bet, Pocket Packs provide multiple numbers related to that bet. They appear with low probability in the shop’s Pocket slots. With Pocket Packs, players can more actively modify the roulette to their desired form.”

“The overall system has been balanced accordingly due to the addition of these elements.”

[h3]Balance Adjustments:[/h3]

“Until now, the game design allowed players to automatically get stronger as they progressed, with increases in round tokens, discards, and reward coins. This excess in later rounds overshadowed the sense of achievement from active strategies like using items or quests. To address this, we're standardizing resource amounts in the later game stages. This patch will introduce new features to help players grow stronger in a more balanced way.”

- Starting from Stage 2, round tokens and discards per round will be consistently 6 and 5, regardless of the stage
- Starting from Stage 2, each round will give 8 gold coins.
- Starting from Stage 2, boss rounds will provide 12 gold coins.

[h3]Ball or Bet Adjustments:[/h3]

Balls

“The multi-ball was already the most valuable in earlier versions. With new special pockets, its value rose further, leading to adjustments. Now, while the multi-ball's base value is higher, its enhancement from scoring points has been moderated.”

- Corrected the issue where balls had lower point values at higher token levels.
- Super Ball Points: 15/20/25/35/45/55/75 > 15/20/25/30/45/60/80
- Repeat Ball Points: 10/15/15/20/25/25 > 10/15/20/25/35/45/60
- Ice Ball Points: 15/20/25/35/45/55/75 > 15/20/25/30/45/60/80
- Heart Ball Points: 15/20/25/35/45/55/75 > 15/20/25/30/45/60/80
- Large Ball Points: 15/20/25/35/45/55/75 > 15/20/25/30/45/60/80
- Target Ball Points: 15/20/25/30/35/40/45 > 15/20/25/30/45/60/80
- Wave Ball Points: 1/1/1/1/1/1/1 > 1/4/7/10/16/22/31
- Multi Ball Points: 5/7/9/11/15/19/25 > 10/15/20/25/35/45/60
- Multi Ball: now only score x0.5
- Multi Ball: number of balls 2/3/4/5 > 3/4/5/6 depending on the level.

“Although Mirror Bet was intended to be used with balls like the Target Ball or Large Ball, its power level was too weak, making it often better not to use it. This ambiguity in its usefulness led to it feeling like a poor choice and thus, it was rarely used. By enhancing its strength, it is intended to be used in a variety of ways.”

- Mirror Bet: x1.5/x2/x2.5/x3.5 > x2/x3/x4/x5
- New: Crown Bet
- Crown Bet: Provides additional chips when there are no other affecting bets in the same pocket. Chips x1.5/x2/x2.5/x3.5 depending on the level.
- Crown Bet Price: 8coins
- Flash Bet Price: 3coins > 7coins
- Echo Bet Price: 3coins > 6coins
- Ice Bet Price: 3coins > 6coins
- Color/ Even odd/ High low Bet Chips: 20/30/40/70/100/130/180 > 20/30/40/50/70/90/120
- Column/ Dozen Bet Chips: 30/45/60/100/140/180/240 > 30 50 70 90 130 170 230
- Line Bet Chips: 50/75/100/150/200/250/320 > 50/80/110/140/200/260/350
- Corner Bet Chips: 60/90/120/180/240/300/400 > 60/95/130/165/235/305/410
- Street Bet Chips: 70/105/140/210/280/350/460 > 70 110 150 190 270 350 470
- Split Bet Chips: 80/120/160/240/320/400/540 > 80/125/170/215/305/395/ 530
- Straight Bet Chips: 100/150/200/300/400/500/700 > 100/160/ 220/ 280/ 400/ 520/ 700

New Class

We were unable to include some features that should have been patched in version 0.3.0. The features that were not added will be included in a follow-up patch scheduled for a few days later.

You can now test the reworked shop in this patch.

Since it's a beta version, there may be many bugs or placeholder texts included.
(How to Participate in the Beta Branch)

For save data that hasn't completed the tutorial in the previous version, conflicts may occur, so we recommend testing for users who have completed the tutorial.

This test version intentionally excludes all other update elements except those directly related to the shop. Therefore, some items that may confuse you are temporarily disabled.

[h2]Why is shop rework necessary?[/h2]

Basically, the existing shop overwhelmed new players with too many choices, leading to confusion. Also, there was an inherent problem where the game's depth decreased despite the increased burden on the player, because there were actually fewer meaningful choices in the existing shop. Therefore, the structure of the shop was completely redesigned.

[h2]How was it reworked?[/h2]

[h3]1. The goals of the revamped shop are primarily threefold:[/h3]

First, we aim for new players not to be overwhelmed by too many choices offered in the game and to naturally concentrate on the game.

Second, compared to the previous version's shop, we hope to be able to choose where to focus. For example, in versions prior to 0.2.0, you could always get the necessary elements, but in version 0.3.0, when the shop configuration that suits me appears, you can choose whether to lock the shop, allowing you focus on the necessary elements.

Also, with the reduction in reroll prices, it will be much easier to focus on obtaining desired badges, balls, bets, etc., compared to before. In other words, I hope that players will have more control over their strategies.

Third, we hope to address the issue of the previous version's shop, where players could attempt desired builds every match. The shop in version 0.3.0 opens up the possibility of trying out new builds by offering discounted items, while at the higher HE, players won't just clear using the preferred build, but rather, balance the initial build based on discounted items, and strategically find supporting items. This direction is aimed at balancing to encourage players to compose their early builds based on discounted items and strategically find supporting items for later stage of the game.

[h3]2. Separated the upgrade elements.[/h3]

By separating the way tokens are strengthened, we've resolved the problem of balancing balls and bets properly, which was difficult in the existing method. (The current state doesn't mean good balance, but it means that it is now structurally possible to adjust the values for each element separately. Compared to the previous version where multiple elements were tied to one upgrade.)

[h3]3. Created item tags.[/h3]

We've adjusted the appearance probability of each item based on the tags attached to the items. For example, items that can only be used in specific situations (e.g., items that give additional scores in pockets 6 and 28) have been modified to have slightly lower appearance probabilities when there is not many pockets 6 and 28. This reduces the probability of items that are overly suitable for specific situations from filling up the shop. But, unless specifically stated otherwise, there won't be an increase in item appearance probability over base value. (Currently, there is an issue where the variety of items feels less than before due to this change, and we plan to address this by quickly adding more items.)

[h3]****Added detailed descriptions for upgrades****[/h3]

Added a feature where you can view detailed descriptions of certain items or token upgrades by pressing the left Shift key. In-game explanations and UI for detailed descriptions, and controller support will be added at official release.

[h2]Balance Adjustments:[/h2]

- Now the shop displays 6 items, and among them, 2 are non-rerollable discounted items that can be purchased at a lower price than the original price.
- The reroll price has been reduced to 1 gold.
- A loan feature has been added to the shop. When used, you receive 1 gold in that turn, and you must repay 2 gold in the next round. It can be used up to 3 times in one shop turn.
- The shop now has predefined layout types, and when rerolling, it will only provide items from the same category.
- Each layout can be maintained for the next shop through locking.
- Now, the scoring upgrades for tokens and the special abilities upgrades for balls/betting are separated. Typically, the cost for token upgrades, which could previously be 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, has been changed to 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. However, token upgrades no longer enhance the abilities of balls or betting. The abilities of balls or betting can now be strengthened by purchasing ball ability upgrade or betting ability upgrade from the shop. Through these enhancements, special abilities can be upgraded up to +3 levels(when not upgraded, it will have a +1 level).
- The way of equipping bets to tokens has been reworked, now choosing bets no longer overwrites the existing bets. Now bets are divided into betting types and betting abilities. Betting type determines where to place the bet, (such as color, odd/even, corner, etc), while betting ability refers to enhancing the bet (such as Ice Bet, Gold Bet, Echo Bet, etc). Now, instead of purchasing a single bet combining both type and ability, you can purchase betting types and betting abilities separately.
- Each badge now has a tier. Purchasing “Unique” badges will decrease the probability of other unique badges appearing. Additionally, the starting bonus, the rare item box, has been changed to provide unique badges. Furthermore, each badge is tagged to have different appearance probabilities depending on the situation. Specific tag will be shown in UI with the official update.
- The chip gift / point gift / score gift has been added to the shop. Instead of selecting one out of three like a random item box, these gifts immediately provide a randomly selected badge from the corresponding category. These items will no longer appear if you already own at least one item with the corresponding tag.
