A very well made recreation in its own right. My biggest gripe (as you know) is with the controls. I'd love to try a mouse version and see how far I can get. The "two paddles" with the hole in the middle is just diabolical, and I love it. It really screws with everything you know about standard breakout. Sadly due to the game's high difficulty, I never got past level 2, so I couldn't see much further. Nice entry!
Likin' that monochrome aesthetic to it, nice. :p
I'm garbage at breakout though, but it didn't stop me from enjoying it! Great work. \.o./
A good adaptation of the original source I thought, the controls and feel are spot on though I would have wished for more patterns in the bricks and frame, seeing the whole game was monochrome already.
I'm not sure why I only got half the screen but it was very playable as is so I'm not complaining.
Greetings!
Oh also I appreciated that you based the bounce angle from the paddle on the x position of the collision on the paddle. Very authentic and 100% correct IMO. :)
I never shy away from a break-out clone! :)
I love it. Brutally hard with the digital controls. I'd play forever if my mouse was emulating a paddle. But still great fun and I loved the monochrome look.
My memories of breakout and super breakout are mostly from playing mo my grandmother's black & white TV in the early 80's, so I was right at home! :)
I know a lot of you guys will be thinking that, "oh, another breakout clone meh".
But hear me out, there is a story behind it. You see, when I was 6-7 my cousin had an atari with breakout, so whenever i went to visit him during summer breaks we both would play it till dusk, fighting to see who could last longer. Hence, this game holds a special place in my heart ❤
This is the reason i chose to remake it out of plethora of games available for atari.
Hope you guys enjoy playing it as much as i did making it :)
