I really like the pixel art on this one!! And the take on the theme is interesting! I just feel that the game grinds to a halt when it's your turn to place stuff on the board. I feel the game could have used a faster pace, but I still think it's worth trying!

Virtual Pet PrisonI love brick breaker. This is so elegantly designed. Also your leaderboard API will be a lifesaver in future projects. Excellent work!

Solid Sloth: The Worst Secret AgentArt and sound are killer! Game it's self is simple, fun and addicting. I now understand poor bricks!

Escape from Estmour EstateThis is very impressive for 48 hours. The presentation is excellent and the game plays great. I might have been missing it, but it was hard to tell when you would be able to place down a brick and when the ball would just keep firing at you. Awesome stuff.

Rogue ReboundSounds like you didn’t notice text in the left bottom corner :)
I agree, it’s not very noticeable and we have some problems with UI, had not much time for that. But the more ball rolling the more bricks you get. If it got back to paddle too fast, you won’t get bricks at all and end up with getting back to “place yourself” phase instantly
Took me a while to really understand how each of the different items worked and how to best strategize, but once I did the game was really engaging! The art and music really worked well together, too, making it feel really polished as a whole!

Match Breaker - The Hating SimulatorThis game is really fun to play and it's very well done and polished. It's great that all the art and musci is original! Only other comment I have in the other direction is that for me it doesn't really feel like the reversed version of the Arkanoid, it feels more like a new original game because of the new mechanics. Honestly I enjoy this game more than the Arkanoid one.

Lizard IslandWow super neat! Well polished, nice graphics, nice sounds with strong mechanics. Really like to shadow style, very strong, not much to say except congrats!

Infernal CircusI liked the game and the mechanics, but I don’t think I can easily figure out the strategy here. It was a great touch to flip the screen positions vertically so that we still played from the bottom, but now the paddle is on top.

Postgame GiveawayI really enjoyed this game. The artwork is incredible, and the gameplay was just as fun. The game seemed pretty balanced as well if you develop a good strategy.

Do Not Climb The MountainI can't figure out a good strategy. Seems like defensive play is better? The game is great. Very good concept and execution. I could see it being expanded into a full game, maybe as some kind of a roguelike?

The Sentient Garden Of MagicThank!
The best strategy is to make paddle shoot in slimes (it would try to avoid doing that), blow up windmills and make ball ricochet in the far part of the map so it would roll longer and give more points and bricks for next round :)
It requires a bit of luck to get slimes and some mastering of your prediction :)
Well done! In just 48 hours a so polished game! I love the art style.
