good job!

This was a fun little engine building game. The AI was frustratingly good at beating me, and it felt like it targeted my money blocks. Once I got my economy running, things went much smoother, but there were still some tense moments before winning.

With a little more polish, especially to the movement of the paddle, and maybe highlighting which block you have selected and/or showing exactly where the block will be placed with an indicator, this is a really solid game!

Really good idea! Almost like a tower defense/pong. I feel like the execution could have been better. Its too easy to get super powerful, it should definitely get more difficult as the game goes. Needs some visual polish and music but its a great concept with a lot of potential!

Nice twist, but the fact you can’t really control ball movement (like send it to some wall) would make it unbatable with just a bit smarter AI. Though in current iterational it’s quite enjoyable

Thanks for playing :)
Yes I should have added some blocks that could modify the ball trajectory when destroyed indeed, nice idea ^^

Cool idea. Had luck that a ball got slowed down to a really slow pace so i could place many money blocks and easily win. It was quite fun.

This was a lot of fun! I was really engaged in it once I figured out I should spawn a money brick early and then just time placing down a simple brick so it didn't die. Ended up being super rich and winning. Great submission :)
