This was notbad and has an interesting mixture of some classic games, The game can be pretty addictive and fun and thats what I liked about this one here, The idea is really nice and seems to work, Controls are so simple and respond well overall a fun little game here

This game will freeze on you after beating just one level if played on Chrome. Looking back at the comments I see this problem goes all the way back to when this game was released and game author would rather tell people to update their Flash (not at all what the problem was) rather than fix it.
You must play this game on Firefox even though it plays choppy and not at all smooth there. You actually can get past the stages and earn the medals if played on Firefox.
Also the old arcade games were not laggy and choppy like this! I'm tired of "retro" games that aren't even as good as the actual retro games. And those used much less capable hardware than what modern computers offer.
Ok.... What the french fry did I just play? Seriously, for the first, like, minute or so, I was so confused... combining those 3 classic arcade games into 1 is a totally genius move, and though it took me a minute to understand exactly what was going on, it was great fun.
Very good
And I mean it.
A mix between space invaders and wallbreaker can be a nice idea. But like those two original games, it should have a limited interest, particularly when you take the very first version of each, with no power-ups. And as it should have a limited interest, the player should got bored fast.
But, obviously it's not a single mix. And 2 colors give this game its savor and its consistency : those missiles that you can reflect constitute the essence of this little game, and make it definitely addictive.
It force you to distinguish and to treat independently those two kind of missiles, to develop a strategy (yeah ! a real strategy), particularly to win the hard medals. (unfortunately the last one popped up on the screen but i didn't receive it ?)
The idea is really great, and it's perfectly realized. Controls are so simple and effective, the sensibility is perfect. Graphisms are epured and primitive (in a good way) and don't spoil the visibility needed for the missiles.
Simple but very ingenious, and made with intelligence. I had much pleasure playing this game.
Just one thing : I guess it can get boring as soon as you've reached all medals. Particularly for the first mode, cause it gets repetitive and doesn't really push you to try to play for score. On the contrary, concrete objectives are really motivating. Maybe incorporate them in the game would be a good idea.
Well done !
Excellent Blend...and a new favorite.
I had multiple nostalgasms during this. i love how the presence of each game can be felt, but as parts to a whole new experience. Everything about this emulates the old school feel (minus the controller) and ramps up the difficultly nicely. Had you made this 20-30 years ago, you would probably be swimming in a pool of cash right now. There is always room for improvement, however, this game leaves very little room for it. Well done.
