A nice take on the breakout genre indeed. I would love to see this developed with more gun/weapon types (bombs for area damage, flame thrower with fire flowing from one brick of a certain type to another, laser that would brake en entire column, etc) and maybe ammo/resources management. Like, Doom Eternal, but inside Arkanoïd.

Also, do you know of that old breakout clone : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SygD93F95js

I have seen that game before, but it had escaped my memory.  Will have to do some "research."  Thanks for the feedback. I do hope to add more weapons (Flame thrower, hmmmm) or gadgets.

Solid breakout game.  I think I want the ball to be just a little faster.  This is a great starting point to add more stuff to!

Nice breakout game! The gun is very useful for getting those last few blocks at the end.

I think the overall feel of the game could be even better with more sound effects, and maybe some particles when you break a block.

Thanks for playing.  100% agree.  I hope to come back and add a little more polish soon, jam time ran out on me.

This is a solid interpretation of one of my formative game experiences and I had a lot of fun playing it. Great job!

This is a really nice rendition of classic Breakout, and the gun addition is great to get rid of that frustration of hitting that last brick on the level. Takes me back a thousand internet years to when I played Arkanoid on the C64, that I specifically got paddles for. You could definitely develop this further in the Arkanoid direction.

Classic Breakout but "with gun".

I felt that progression could be faster by either speeding up the ball a bit after each bounce or having less rows to break in the initial levels. This way the player can gain momentum toward completing the game.

Also I'm not sure if it's just me but my mouse was drifting to the right. I didn't mind too much because I just compensated for it.

Thanks for your submission!

Right now the ball only speeds up between levels, but think I need to add some variation inside the levels too.  

Thanks for giving it a go.

Nice game I am not vary good at it, I die on level 2, but is an interesting take on the normal breakout game. It's nice to be able to shoot that last one that I keep missing with the ball.

Thanks for the submission. Have a good day!
