To me this one misses the mark. It's neither amazingly good nor horrendously bad, but it doesn't really fit the bill of "so bad it's good". The latter is a nebulous concept so I can't really put the why into words. I guess I just play it and go, oh, it's Breakout/Arkanoid. And that's kind of all there is to it.

I didn't realize there was a button to start so I'd almost destroyed all the blocks before I sent the ball launching. I did manage to launch a missile that failed to explode once. I think even rearranging the instructions would help there.

As a first game (I'm not sure if this is really your first game or a parody of "my first game") it's not bad. It's a functional clone of a classic game, it has working mechanics, is almost feature complete (lasers and missiles!), and has decent enough graphics. It's a heck of a lot better than my first game, which had no graphics, no sound, barely any gameplay, and a completely nonsensical story.

For your next game, consider tackling music/sound and implementing some kind of scoring system or goal for the player.

Edge reported this as a virus (false positive, it doesn't like JARs in general) and that might be why the itch page is down. It worked with the version of AdoptOpenJDK JRE on my computer, but you might want to package it with a private JRE as a lot of people don't have Java installed anymore.
