Very nice take on Breakout game! I liked upgrades
Glad you enjoyed it! The lightning one was pretty crazy, eh? 😁
Haha yeah 😁
Very well done
Thank you! I am glad you liked it.
Pretty nice take on the theme using Breakout as the base! Nice work on vibe coding too! The music is really making a difference to the game and makes it charming to play. A small improvement could be to tell what the 'balance' means. It took me by surprise. Lol!
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for playing!
A fun redo of Breakout! Love the music and how the balance theme was implemented into the game. It also contains a diverse set of powerups (although a few weren't obvious what they do?) and overall is really impressive considering the time it was created in. Well done!
Thanks so much! Yeah, almost bit off a bit too much there...
Always love arkanoid and the balance twist seems fitting! The only powerup I didn't like that much was magnetic.
Glad you liked it, and thanks for the feedback!
Nice Break Out Twist!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! Breakout is always fun, and this is one of the prettiest implementations I’ve seen.
There was a point when my ball was moving almost horizontally, and it took kind of a long time to get out of that. Maybe you could add a check when they rebound, like force it some minimum distance from the cardinal directions?
Great observation! Yes, I did run into some of what you describe early on, and I made it so that the ball always bounces off the paddle at a certain minimum angle (or it's supposed to be that way, anyway). I also found that I needed to introduce a few degrees' randomness in the bounce off of bricks or I could run into trouble. But it appears there is more work to be done. 😊
Anyway, glad you enjoyed the visuals!
Nice game, interesting interpretation of the theme. Good work!
Thanks, appreciate it!
Reminded me of one of my favorite mobile games: BBTAN
great job!
Thanks!! I hadn't heard of BBTAN so I looked it up. Looks like you get multiple balls at once, and don't have to worry about the ball falling off the bottom of the screen. Interesting!
Very fun game! The music is fun and powerups are really cool!
So glad you enjoyed this!
A fun and interesting reinterpretation of the classic Breakout!
The concept is simple, but I really liked how different power-ups start to appear as you progress through the levels — it keeps things fresh and adds a nice sense of progression. The only thing that felt a bit off was the speed power-up; it felt more like a curse than a bonus. Maybe it would help if it also increased the paddle speed along with the ball?
In any case, great job — this was an enjoyable little game to play. Keep it up ^^
Thanks, glad you had fun! Yes, with the various Breakout-style games I've played in the past, I more often than not found myself avoiding the speed boost (unless the ball was more or less "trapped" in the upper part of the screen breaking bricks like no one's business, or with the fireball powerup). Thanks for commenting. 😊
Very fun, super nostalgic! Great gameplay, boosters are very cool and satisfying, awesome use of nostalgia with the jam's theme. (P.S. - Do some of the bricks look a bit like a Nintendo Switch on purpose or is my ADHD brain working overtime again?) Great job, I loved it! 🥰
Thank you so much!! I appreciate the compliments and that you had fun playing. Any similarity between bricks and a Nintendo Switch is purely coincidental. 😁
Beautiful remake of an old game!
Thanks so much!
Interesting game, I like how you made the destruction of blocks into small particles
Yeah, I actually just sized down the brick itself to make the particles, seemed to work pretty well. :)
i do live me some breakout
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
lvl 12, 22936 =)
I usually lost the ball when it was somewhere in the center during rebalancing.
Anyways, good job.And I’m not quite sure what some of the power-ups actually did :)
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, these are definitely areas for improvement when I go through and refine this game. I can have a screen that shows all the powerups and what they do, and maybe even change the effects on some of them to make them more obvious. Thanks for playing!
I really like the music and the SFX, the twist you made to the classic break out game is interesting and fits the theme quite nicely!
I got to level 4, I feel like the lowest bricks should be placed higher to give you more time to react to bounces, also maybe increase the speed of the bar? anyways, had fun playing it :D
Thanks for playing and for your feedback! Yes, agreed, right now it's too random as far as how low the bricks are placed, sometimes you get more lucky than other times as far as having more room to work with. Anyway, glad you enjoyed playing!
Clean breakout game and it's interesting how you made the theme fit. 👍
Thanks! Almost bit off more than I could chew. :)
Always fun to play a good breakout game, and with a nice twist fitting the theme. Good job.
Thank you! I lost too much sleep making this game. Next jam I do, I'll need to take a more "balanced" approach. :D
