NoEscapeFromBallAndPaddle

Almost everyone played one of the Arkanoids. At least once. But most clones have same gameplay: paddle at the bottom, walls around. Break all bricks and move to next level.
"No Escape" tries to give some new breath to the great idea. Here your paddle is not attached to the bottom of the screen and can freely move around. Also there is special "hardcore" mode which introduces inertia to the paddle control.
But the most pleasant modification is that you don't have to break ALL bricks. Just navigate the ball to the EXIT icon.

Little polish and this would be great

The graphics could use a little cleaning up, and there's no music, but gameplay wise this is solid. Having missing walls on more than one side is a unique gameplay element that's been integrated well, and it adds extra challenge to what would otherwise be a too-easy game. I like it!

awsome

this game great. i loved how the paddle went on all the walls and how on some levels walls wernt there, but the colours kinda let it down.

graphics is my weak point;=)) but i'm working on it;+))

ps. thanks to all for comments! it is very heart-warming and inspiring to hear these words for my first published game!+)) i'll try to make next one even better:)

Not bad but needs little tweek

this is a good game thought I personally found the controls a little to hard at the start maybe could do with keyboard interface instead of mouse but an amazing game never the less

JustAlex responds:

Thanks for the review!=))
nice thought about keyboard, though i can't imagine the mechanics of it;+))
Can you explain your vision of keyboard control?

great

This is an excellent game, taken an old classic and given it an orginal twist very good. The gameplay is really addictive and i enjoyed it

well done

it was pretty good
it was challenging and fun
