BlockThrasher 1.0.9 — polish before launch We tuned the feel, visuals, and layout so the game looks great on every device and plays better than ever. New and Improved • All-new Shop with glass card design, clear price badges, and clearer booster descriptions. • Instructions screen redesigned for readability with a tidy glass panel, larger text, and device-aware spacing. • HUD and buttons refreshed with rounded “glass” chips, subtle highlights, and larger touch targets. • Power-Ups bar (Clear Row, Color Bomb, Reshuffle) sits above the banner, updates live, and avoids overlap. • Responsive layout that adapts to iPhone and iPad, honoring safe areas and banner height. Gameplay • Tap groups of 3+ to score; bigger groups yield bigger points. • Gentle level-ups as you improve. • Reshuffle when stuck (limited per run) with clearer point costs and messaging. Persistence • Auto-save mid-run and restore on return. • Local Top Scores so you can chase your personal bests. Under the Hood • AdMob integrated with real unit IDs and SKAdNetwork entries. • Banner-aware layout keeps UI and playfield clear of the ad area. • Performance and memory optimizations. Fixes • Buttons no longer drift into the banner area on certain phones. • Shop text no longer overlaps; spacing is now consistent across devices. • Restored runs rebuild the board reliably. • General stability and visual polish throughout.
