Simple yet nice twist on breakout!

nice take on the breakout game

marxy-37 2020-04-22 13:22

Fun and challanging game: I like it.

I wish there was a tutorial, even reading the descrition it took me a while to understand how to play it...

I like the twist on breakout. It's simple, yet challenging ! the music is cool ! :)

Well realized. Nice idea to invert gameplay classic. Congratulations.

pretty fun game

nice concept

At first i though i had to anticipate all the movements of the ball and then see the result. Didn't realized i could place block during the moving phase. And that was also pretty fun in fact.

Good job

Quite challanging and much fun game right there, ı appreeciate it.

@marxy-37 We clearly wanted to make a tutorial but ran out of time and ended up putting a wall of text hoping that players would figure out how to play, glad you could enjoy it anyways

marxy-37 2020-04-22 13:50

@keithdae Yeah, no problem, i figured anyway how to play, end it was blast then.. No biggie =D

Simple idea, but very well executed and quite fun to play. Well done!

Really liked the minimalism and neon look, and it was a neat addition to include a line to render where you'll end up going once you hit a block.

Nice Game. I really enjoyed playing it. Simple but fun gameplay- i liked it.

However it is somewhat anojing that once you fail a level you will have to restart at level 1: I would have rather liked to only replay that level.

Still nice game. I had a great time playing it. keep up the great work.

I loved this gameplay. good job!

aj-jones 2020-04-22 20:05

Great job, way to take a classic concept and turn it on its head, was pretty fun!

Brilliant concept! A really cool take on the theme, with nice graphics and a fitting music choice.

My only bit of nagging is that at the beginning I was expecting the trail to be some sort of a tail rather than anticipate the actual direction, so the moment I started the level had to quickly place a block on the other side of the screen :sweat_smile: Once you realise, it does make sense, though, especially because of the really useful reflection preview as you get near a block.

I think that at some point I could make two blocks overlap, but perhaps it was the timing.

A really cool entry with lots of potential. ¡Awesome job!

I'm very bad at it, but I like it, seems like something you could lose a lot of time playing. And a really good adaptation of the theme.

Great concept and well executed. The art style really matched the sound choice to create a nice *aesthetic*. Ton of fun, Good Job!

Very nice ! Easy to play and quite challenging. The only thing that was frustrating for me was to start again from level 1 because of a stupid mistake. Maybe to be given the chance to start the level again after one death could help. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed it!

tony-redmer 2020-04-24 21:42

Love the mechanics here, the concept feels fresh and exciting!

boxedmeatrevolution 2020-04-24 21:55

Tough! Cool idea, and really nice atmosphere (the music and graphics gave off a consistent vibe... feels... neon). I think a more "puzzly" application of this mechanic might be really cool. Maybe something more turn based, or where the directional indicators of the balls are longer. It's fun as is, but I don't quite have the reflexes needed to beat the later levels, and I think there's a lot of potential to make games using a similar mechanic.

Very clever twist on breakout/arkanoid games! I like the simplistic art style. I feel like it could have a lot more elements to it which would have made this game much much better as compare to what it is right now.

lesslwo 2020-04-26 15:47

Interesting take on the genre, and executed quite well. Good job!

schizoid2k 2020-04-29 01:49

Very cool game... harder than you would think :smile: Simple, but cool neon graphics sets the mood.

borys 2020-04-30 09:18

Really interesting and unique idea. The game itself is also solidly made and with some small improvements it would be very cool mobile game :) Great job!
