60000000 0000 00000000 00000000 The bounce line is the line across the bottom when you catch
60000000 0000 00000000 00000000 the L it bounces the ball back up when hit instead of the
60000000 0000 00000000 00000000 ball going out of play!

60000000 0000 00000000 00000000 This cheat makes the bounce line not count off blocks when
60000000 0000 00000000 00000000 it is hit. Otherwise when the ball hits the line it will
60000000 0000 00000000 00000000 look like a block got hit and then reduces the number of
60000000 0000 00000000 00000000 blocks remaining by 1 even though you didn't hit a block.
60000000 0000 00000000 00000000
60000000 0000 00000000 00000000 THIS CHEAT IS TEMPORARY TOO, YOU NEED TO ENABLE IT EACH
60000000 0000 00000000 00000000 TIME YOU NEED TO.
