Fun but short. Great idea, but the camera shake caused quite a strain on the eyes. :D

I agree with others about the ball being too fast and if it was slower the paddle could be less sensitive too.

Really like the look and feel of this game nice job :)

This game feels good to play, build more, I want it so bad

Great game with very effective visuals, although at times the screen shake reached a point at which playing became difficult. I also feel as if the dice mechanic doesn't have enough of an impact on the game, as the fast bar on top ensures most blocks will be broken without the involvement of the player

I didn't really see the benefit of matching up the dice as I was still able to clear the board if I just had a few well placed hits. I really liked the idea of the duplicates all clearing but with the ball just moving so fast I found that matching and controlling what I hit was simply out of my control a lot of the time. I will say that I LOVE arcade games and this fits the bill so perfectly that even if all I was doing was smashing bricks and bouncing a ball I still had fun so I think this is still a very successful game. Great submission!

I love the visuals and crunch of this game.

Great game! The screen shake and sounds really add a lot of crunch and power. Only feedback I have would be to change the color and/or the brightness of the ball. When things got fast I easily lost track of it.

Great work! i like the art and style used, and the random chain reaction is pretty neat.

to me personally, i found the ball moves way too fast. but other then that, great work!

Very well done! I liked the game!

Some criticism:

  • Ball movement feels slightly unpredictable. Yes, it's visually just a square - but it doesn't deny that the player can not predict which direction the ball will go in
  • The particles and the screen shake are ok, but when the ball gets faster, it becomes hard to orient. Particles cover a significant part of the screen, and the screen shake confuses you regarding the location of objects on the map

Good stuff:

  • The aesthetics are lovely even though they are not outstanding. They remind of old-school, simple games
  • There's a lot of game juice
  • It's very interesting to play, I liked the gameplay
  • Thank you for giving more than 3 lives per level, and for increasing the number of lives as the levels grow in difficulty
  • The Win Screen is very rewarding :]

Great job!
