AFAICT the bars add a kind of "laser" that immediately inflicts damage on all bricks in your initial selected trajectory (penetrating all bricks that intersect the dotted line representing your initial trajectory). The more bars you collect the more damage this laser does.
This provides a counterbalance to only blindly selecting the trajectory that has your dots hitting the most bricks. Sometimes you're willing to have a poor trajectory that results in your dots immediately hitting the "ground" after only one or a few bounces if the "laser" can do enough damage, or sometimes the laser can "carve" a better path.
- prawn 5y agoOK, that makes sense. I thought the bar just set the shooting position for the next turn. Laser didn't occur to me at all.
- droidist2 5y agoHow do you know when you have the laser, and can you choose whether or not to use it?
- dwohnitmok 5y agoI think the answers are respectively "there's no explicit indication, just remember when you've collected a bar powerup and also you'll see the laser beam on-screen when it fires" and "no you cannot choose whether to use it, once you have it it always fires."
