About

A juicy remake of Breakout/Arkanoid with 15 levels and a high-score list. Created as part of a long-running video tutorial series. If you want to learn how to make a game like this, check out this playlist.





How to Play

You control the pad at the bottom of the screen. You need to destroy the bricks by hitting them with a ball. If the ball leaves the bottom of the screen you lose. You need to move your pad left and right to keep the ball on the screen.

If you move the pad while you hit the ball, you can change the angle of the ball's trajectory. There are also different powerups, which appear when you destroy a blue block.

Controls

Use the cursor keys to move left or right

Use the X, M or V key to confirm (X)

Use the Z, N or C key to cancel (O)

Powerups

Orange = Slow - Slows down time

White = Extra Life - Gives you an additional extra life

Green = Sticky - Makes you pad sticky. It makes the ball stick to the paddle so you can launch it again

Blue = Expand - Expands the size of your pad

Black = Reduce - Shrinks you pad but also gives you a 10x score modifier

Red = Megaball - Lets the ball smash through blocks without changing direction

Yellow = Multiball - Splits the ball into two balls. You only lose a life if you lose your last ball

Sudden Death - if there are only 3 bricks left when the ball hits the pad, the game goes into Sudden Death mode. Bricks will start blinking as they are about to explode. If you hit a brick while it's blinking, you'll get extra points.

Scoring

Hitting multiple bricks in a row increases your score multiplier to a maximum of 7x. Hitting the ball with the pad resets the multiplier back to 1x.

Losing all lives resets your score to 0, but you can continue playing. For the highest score possible, try finishing the game without losing your lives.

For an additional challenge and even more points, press up or down on the start screen for Fast Mode.
