It is with great happiness that I am announcing Mr Boom's Firework Factory is finally ready for general consumption and as of 19:00 BST on the 10th of July 2019 will officially leave beta!
So what does this really mean?
I've been working extremely hard on getting everything rounded off these past six months, most notably the past three weeks where I've been working non-stop on getting everything just right for you.
What's changed?
Amongst other smaller things, the most important changes in this release are:
All 30 levels are now in the game!
The end screen is in the game - reach it if you can!
All issues reported in pre-release reviews have been addressed
The game's achievements are now live and will be obtainable the minute the game is released. There are a few of these and 30 of them are hidden. Have fun achieving them all!
What if i need support with the game?
If you require support with the game upon release, or if you just want a place to hang out and discuss the game, strategies, plot etc, then feel free to join me, the developer of the game, on the official discord server for the game! You can also follow @brainboxdotcc on twitter for up-to-the-minute updates.
Finally, a huge thank-you!
I'd like to thank all the testers, die-hard fans, and everyone else that helped make this project a reality and supported me throughout these past years, it's been a long road, and we're finally here!
STAY TUNED TO THIS CHANNEL!

Mr Boom's Firework Factory Beta 2019-02-23 released
Today's beta version includes a full and complete version of level 7.
It is now decorated, and has the fully active robot which will attempt to catch and weld your crates. He now has a voice!!!
Bugs fixed in this version:
* Some conveyor junctions did not respond to clicks on level 6 in the rightmost conveyor nearest the goop pool
* Machines situated at the rear of the warehouse near the window were difficult to click on when placing wrenches, this has been fixed.
As always please let me know on Discord if you have any issues running this beta! ːsteamhappyː

The latest update for Mr Boom's Firework Factory for Beta Testing has one major fix and one enhancement.
The bug which stops you interacting with the game after continuing from the pause menu is now fixed.
As for enhancements, level 7 with the malfunctioning robot is here! This level is incomplete in terms of assets and appearance, but if you're quick you may be able to complete it and it's layout is correct and finished.
