📊 Current Development Status

Completed and Tested Levels

🐛 Known Bugs

Critical Issue: Levels 5 and 8

Description: In levels 5 and 8, when the ball correctly enters the hole, the game erroneously triggers a Game Over state instead of Victory.

Expected behavior: Ball enters hole → Victory screen with score

Current behavior: Ball enters hole → Game Over screen

Status: 🔍 Under investigation

Possible causes to check:

• Goal collider (tag "end") incorrectly positioned
• Fall zone collider interfering with the hole
• Script collision execution order
• CubeEND prefab configuration in affected levels

✨ Recently Implemented Features

• Wall Occlusion System — Walls become transparent when the ball approaches
• Advanced Visual Effects — Dynamic trail, impact particles, rolling dust
• Multicolor Power Bar — 6-color gradient with "perfect power" zone
• Game Modes System — Challenge, Tournament, and Free Play
• Localization — Support for English, French, and Italian
• Slow Motion — Cinematic slowdown when the ball approaches the hole

   • Rebuild levels 12, 14, and 15 (lost prefab references)
2. Upcoming Features
