It took me a while to get going but once I got a hang of the touch controls it was tons of fun to play. I think it's a really cool twist on the Arkanoid/Break Out type games. (Personal favourite those.)
One thing I struggled with was the swipe up and swipe down, I was never quite sure of when I got it. and I think that's because the paddle "snaps" to the touch position.
Well done on creating a touch/mobile entry it's really good and I love the look. Great game.
I was initially confused about the web version, but I tried in android and went better. The HTML version crops the top and bottom, something to do with the orientation maybe. Kudos for going for touch support and a mobile compatible entry! One suggestion I have is that when selecting stuff with the swipes, you cancel the ability to move on touch so that it feels more solid
Really interesting idea! I played on my Android phone and it worked really well! I got down to B200, though I have no idea if that's decent or not!? I would say that the ball collection and firing is probably the weakest part of the game - I couldn't figure out how to do it initially! You might want to hold off starting the timer until the player has dropped a couple of rows down so that they get the idea first? Also, I couldn't figure out the logic behind the timer - it just seemed to do whatever it wanted!
Are there also blocks that reduce time? Because that's how I lost - I had loads of time left but then it started jumping around all over the place :(
Ok, I played this on my iPhone! The music is great and I liked the simple gameplay and graphics given the limitation you set for yourself here! It worked out great.
couldn't get to play the game, but the music is fire
