eh.. seen this before
eh! it's ok.. well I have seen all these powerups and stuff before so nothing original.. plus there is a glitch: when you get extra ball, if you drop the original ball yet keep the extra one, your life goes down.. that was frustrating!
Not bad
It's a tad bit slower and less action-packed than Araknoid, but you keep it interesting with all the powerups. The fireball and level skip ones kick ass! Also, this probably isn't new, but the chain reaction blocks add an interesting element of play. It's just too bad that they're a tad limited in their creative uses. What if there was a level that, if you hit the blocks, you set off a bomb? Or what about a puzzler level where certain blocks create reactions that either make some blocks impossible or difficult to reach, while others give you level warps, multi-balls or pother benefits?
Otherwise this is still a pretty decent if not above decent breakout clone with good "retro" (I hate that term) graphics. The only real bitch I have is that the level maker fucks-up my internet. And not quality adjustment? WTF?
Also, some tips for other players:
-When you start your game, notice how, before you launch your ball, that it moves along the paddle in preparation for the shot. Experiment with how you can move the ball around to fit your needs; the farthest of any side will launch the ball in that direction.
-As always, when you get the chance, GET YOUR BALL OVER THE ARRANGEMENT. It's so much easier when you can sit-back and let your ball eat away at the top layer of blocks. If you're real crafty you could even make an opening so small that the chances of you ball coming back through would be lessened, giving you more time to plan or yet, even better, shoot-away at the bottom blocks (if you have the laser powerup).
-It's all about angles in this game. If you can't roughly estimate where your ball will go next, you might as well be fucked.
Well that's it. I hope you found this helpful.
It's alright
This is a nice game, but I don't see it bringing anything new. The graphics and sfx were smooth, but the game can get a bit slow (slower than a Breakout game normally would be).
The standard powerups were all there, but a "Death" block? That was very annoying. Also, the physics in this game don't allow a steep enough hit off the pad to really get the ball on top of the stack. When I tried to do this, the ball shifted a bit on my pad and flew off at the steepest possible angle, which wasn't enough.
On the positive side, I kind of played the beginning to "Pure Imagination" from Willy Wonka with your sound effects. This was a decent game, just not fresh enough for me.
Good
I really liked it, arkanoid has always been good, in my opinion. I like the create your own level option too. Idk how to upload one so try mine :3

not bad.
not great. i found this to be a good break out game but the paddle is a bit too small and the movement time is too slow. i can hardly egt any of the specials that fall because of those problems. overall i give it a 3.
