THE LAST SECRET1 year ago

I've played this kind of game back on the Atari ST: http://www.atariuptodate.de/en/2461/bolo (which was quite a hit at that time)

I appreciate the effort of revisiting this idea, but I think there's lots to improve. To start with, the game seems to crash after you lose. Then the resolution should be higher, the control should be less sluggish, control with keyboards should be possible or – alternatively – a free positioning with the mouse (unlimited speed of moving to the left/right). More variety, special bricks etc. can be added. I think, however, without a real innovative new idea, the game will have a hard time to compete. SlyBalto gave some nice suggestions in his comment!

Good luck with further games! :)

Thanks for the feedback! At the date i made this, i had no idea that other games that are the same premise existed (but no idea is completly o.g. obviously). the crashing is something i tried to fix, but i can try again, and i don't like the idea of controles with the keyboard because of how unresponsive my keyboard is, which makes it had to test.

Then make the player be able to stir the pad with the mouse wherever he wants and make the speed of the ball depend on how you hit it. That improves game play and possibilities for strategy a lot. Look at the video of Bolo, then you'll see how cool is that... :)
