Synopsis

  • Breakout clone
  • The player controls a paddle (a rectangle at the bottom of the screen, that lets the ball bounce up) with left and right motions. The ball initially moves up and down. The ball destroys the rectangles at the top part of the screen when they are hit. The goal is to hit as many of the upper rectangles as possible. If the ball is not hit on the way down by the paddle, the ball goes out and the game resets/restarts.
  • All details yet to be determined

How To Play

  • Controls: The paddle is moved left and right by using the joystick.
  • Scoring system: The longer the ball is in play, the higher the score gets. Additional points are given for destroying rectangles in the top of the screen. This rewards the player not only with destroying rectangles, but also with survival time.
  • Difficulty progression: The difficulty gets higher over time in each game. This is given be a steady increase of the speed of the ball.
  • Objective: The player aims for the highest possible score by keeping the ball in play and destroying blocks. The game ends when the ball goes out in the bottom part of the screen. In this case the game restarts. The side borders let the ball bounce back.
