Ups and downs to it.
The game itself is very simple, the graphics are sort of bad, and the controls are slippery, but the concept of the game is funny. I've also always liked breakout spin-offs, so I like this game.
Reviews for "epic brickout"
Cool
I know your in a flash class and stuff, but you should think up an original idea or just add new kinds of powerups!
Skuffter responds:
yeah I could, it's really just an intro class where we learn how to use functions and stuff to make some basic games. it's really confusing stuff to me, haha
kinda boring but ok
you should have put a better soundtrack on
Unbroken and unremarkable
Doesn't have much to recommend it, but nothing against it, either. Just thought I'd let you know that hitting the ball on the edge of the bar makes it bounce upwards. It looks really strange.
Great retake of a classic however it cotains error
Hi Skuffter
As you mention yourself, it contains some errors.
Aside from those you mention, there is also a problem that sometimes the ball will bouce upwards when hitting a brick from below.
I once did a similar game in java, and I think the problem is you remove the brick and change direction.
Either you didn't check for horizontal hits, or you remove the bricks in a problematic way, that couses it to revert direction twice.
In general, I think it is great to post a prototype to get help, but if you do not fix it you will learn little, as you learn most by correcting your errors.
looking forward for an update.
