A nice take on the breakout genre indeed. I would love to see this developed with more gun/weapon types (bombs for area damage, flame thrower with fire flowing from one brick of a certain type to another, laser that would brake en entire column, etc) and maybe ammo/resources management. Like, Doom Eternal, but inside Arkanoïd.

Also, do you know of that old breakout clone : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SygD93F95js

Nice breakout game! The gun is very useful for getting those last few blocks at the end.

I think the overall feel of the game could be even better with more sound effects, and maybe some particles when you break a block.

Classic Breakout but "with gun".

I felt that progression could be faster by either speeding up the ball a bit after each bounce or having less rows to break in the initial levels. This way the player can gain momentum toward completing the game.

Also I'm not sure if it's just me but my mouse was drifting to the right. I didn't mind too much because I just compensated for it.

Thanks for your submission!
