BrickHaus is here, plus a tougher intro and a new Who's Online box

Patch here. Big shipping day. Hizzle is still in beta, and the bug reports from you testers made this list. Thank you. Energy drinks were consumed.

Play BrickHaus in the Arcade

Brickhouse got rebuilt and renamed. Old Brickhouse links go to the new page.

• 100 levels, each a little harder. After level 100 you start a new lap at level 1 with the ball 20% faster.
• The shop, every 5 levels. Spend your score on Supply Drop, Wide Paddle, Steady Ball, Long Fuse, or Spare Ball. Every button shows what it costs. Upgrades last one game.
• The ball speeds up as you rally: 5% faster every 4 paddle hits, up to 40%. A new level or a lost ball resets it.
• S is now Speed reset. It puts the ball back to the level's starting speed.
• Extra balls drop less often.
• Level 7 is squashed. It could never be cleared. Now it can.
• Last brick help. With 3 or fewer bricks left and no hits for 15 seconds, the ball bends toward them. After 30 seconds the steel crumbles.
• New look, including a slimmer shop panel and a dot that shows where your mouse is.

Heads up: the BrickHaus boards are fresh. Older scores moved to the archive.

The intro is real tasks now

Each intro game step is checked before it pays.

• Beat the Sim: pick every game still open this week. Pays 75.
• Cap Space: sign a full lineup, all 9 spots. Pays 60.
• Arcade: play a game to the end. Pays 60.
• Survivor pool: make a pick. Pays 30.

The whole intro still pays 450. If you already finished a step, it won't ask again. The intro card also follows you onto the game pages now, so you can play, then press Collect right there.

Around the site

• New "What's going on" box at the bottom of every page. It shows who is online with their Hizzle Scores, the most ever online, and links to Who's online and All members. Members left the top bar to keep it to one row.
• Refer friends has a second box with your stadium invite link. Friends who join sit in your front row.
• Phones: the header fits screens down to 320px, and the intro card no longer covers Save picks.
• "Slow down" errors fixed. Tapping through the intro no longer blocks you from naming your stadium.
• Who's Online no longer lists scrapers as guests.
• The Sandbox is gone. Points you earned there stay.
• Some links to outside sites may now be referral links. The footer says so.
