Really nice implementation of the theme, and good innovation on this kind of game. An excellent entry !

I got addicted to this game. Please make more levels.

You have done a nice work here, with the modification of some well-known mechanics, a good use of the theme and nice gameplay, good job!

Great game! Love the graphics and feel it. It would be nice to add more control over the projectiles. Anyway good job

Oooh, gotta love those retro-styled graphics! The gameplay was really fun as well! It's a hard game.. but damn, if you're gonna make a retro-styled game it better be hard to complete! ^^

Nice, I didn't expect to discover a rather fresh touch on a "Breakout" game. Good Job!

The only problem is, that the angle never changes, when the player doesn't bounce the ball back. Some not rectengular hitboxes might have been interesting here.

perfect ludum game! well polished, simple and chalenging, excelents graphics and sound to, why can't we rate the sounds by the way?

Good looking game with good mechanics & sounds :). I got hit by the ball many times :D.

This is a pretty hard game which makes trying to get through all the levels fun. The design is really nice and I like the mechanics. The pixel art is adorable as well. I don`t see the point in the score though since you will get more and more points every time you die.

Cool idea. Didn't realize that I had to dodge the ball. Changing angle on the ball would probably improve it a bit.

Thank me for playing? Thank YOU for making the game!

Things I liked:
- The game felt polished. It had a well thought out progression of levels that led the player from start to finish.
- The graphics and sound effects were well made, consistent, and well presented. No complaints in either area.
- The idea is innovative and unique! I've never played a game like this before!

Suggestions:
- The quickest way to beat levels was standing nearly in the middle so that the ball would bounce straight up and down. This strategy could be prevented by offsetting the ball shooting angle more, or by placing the star off to the side
- You write that this was for the 2 button theme, but I used 3 buttons! Two arrows for movement, and the spacebar to shoot...

Overall great entry! It was both innovative and fun :D

Android link seems to be dead

@BoxedMeatRevolution Ah, sorry, the spacebar shooting feature was just for dev and was not supposed to be in the final version. I removed it.

@SirJavaGaming Sorry about that. I fixed the link.

Very nice game! Loved the art, the music (except for the ear-bleeding tones, those really need to go!), the sound effects. Nice entry!
