What happens when you cross all of the arcade greatest hits and pair it with a Mario Kart style soundtrack and N64 style graphics? Well, you get "BallGame." Amazing and fun to play! It's great that it plays in a browser. I can't really say much else. A future version should include some Tetris elements.
Great job. Interesting combo of games. I wasn't sure how the gold worked and if I should hit some of the falling items. The mouse sensitivity was a little high for me as I use a trackball mouse so it made it a bit more difficult; I think having arrow keys/WASD be an option might have helped in my case.
Nice work and neatly scoped. It took me a few rounds that the green falling goo was giving damage to the amount of gold, but after that if was fun to play overall!
Was very hard to see what was going on at times, but I like the breakout + space invaders mix. Plus the visuals, despite being hard to read at times, fit very well. Nicely done!
