Very well made game. I don't know if I ever fully understood what was happening, but it was fun to move the paddles around and whack the balls everywhere. Things exploded, and eventually I'd win lol! Very good job!

How does your game fit the theme?
We used it as guiding principles for design decisions, the paddles are joined in movement asymmetrically. The cell (ball) splits, joins and interact together in combat.

Superb design! You wove the theme through every mechanic and every moment of play - it felt like playing the essence of the theme itself!

Too Many Games!Excellent! The mechanics seemed very well thought-out and the effects felt really good.
Did you initially plan to have bricks in the game?

ArkajoinedThanks for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Never thought about bricks in the game really, we started with fission and fusion being related to the theme, and then we added on the laser. So the paddles sort of came out of needing a way to control the balls. So yeah I guess that's the part we took from breakout rather than the bricks.
I don't think I ever had this much fun playing a game of this genre - really well done, the controls are fluid and it feels great to trap the enemies in the beam. Great job!

Defying InstinctsThis is really fun! We explored mixing together breakout with other games and space invaders was one of the mashups we considered. Really happy to see that someone else built it! I like the idea of charging the ball and creating lasers between the balls to kill the ships, works very well. I'd love to see what you think of our game!

SnakeOutSound effects are perfect, gameplay is very smooth but a bit messy, graphics are ok. In general a satisfying experience. Congratulations!
