got my ball trapped 😂
the black hole randomly finging the ball around is really hard to react to
I had the same error when I was testing. Haha. Yeah, I tried to make the physics for the black hole realistic but in my rush to get it working, it didn't turn out too great. I definitely hope to fix it eventually.
What a neat breakout game. I included it in my Palette Jam 2 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
I saw it on Twitter. I appreciate you trying my game! I'm glad you liked it.
Hard to play while bobbing my head so much, that music is fire! The loop is short, but it's good! The art style and UI are both very solid, and I appreciate you tried to make the gameplay more varied with those random events.
Thanks! Haha. You'll have to credit one of the hosts of the PaletteJam for the music. I'm glad you liked the art and UI. I'm glad you enjoyed the random events too. I originally had a very minimal clone of Breakout but thankfully the ideas came to me and I was able to implement them before time ran out.
I've always been a fan of breakout and enjoyed this game with the new additions. However having the unbreakable block all the time gets annoying, especially when there is just that one block that is almost completely surround by it. Perhaps an additional upgrade that lets you destroy those blocks as well would have helped. Or increase the number of unbreakable blocks the higher the level is.
I'm glad you liked the new additions. These ideas you mentioned were actually ideas that I had but didn't get a chance to implement them. Glad to hear someone else thinks these improvements are good ideas so I will definitely try to implement them in an updated version later on.
It's as expected from Breakout game. Some features such as portals give some difference.
Too bad I'm not fan of this kind of game so I quit before even seeing game over but it's fun nonetheless :).
Fair enough. I used to be a massive Breakout fan when I had a copy on my dad's old PC back in the early 2000s. I wanted to make a simple yet slightly more interesting version. I hope it was at least semi-fun. Haha.
Pretty fun brick breaker! Its pretty solid and tends to be pretty enjoyable to play.
There's some bugs on the main menu if you spam click the same spot over and over again, it just plays the fade effect over and over which tends to break immersion. I also couldn't find a way off the scoreboard once I entered it.
The music is also very repetitive and get annoying really quickly due to the short loops.
Thanks. I mainly wanted to try something different with limited time. I wanted to fix a lot of these bugs but unfortunately lost a few days due to travel and work. The music was repetitive to me too. Music is not my strong suit.
I'm glad you enjoyed it though!
Feels like a pretty solid arkanoid/breakout, with some fun twists, overall quite complete.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
It's a breakout clone an that's what it is. I didnt't like the indestructable blocks, because sometimes they made it nearly impossible to clear a level. But the black holes and portals add a nice twist! Sadly they where also often blocked by indestructable blocks.
The choosen colors go well together in you game. The graphics are simple, but look nice!
Thanks! I actually didn't like them myself. I wanted to tweak the frequency at which they would generate but forgot to. I'm glad you liked the color choices and graphics. I wanted to try to be as minimal as possible while still looking cool.
