How to Play (Web Version):
Use the LEFT- and RIGHT-arrow keys to move the paddle
The UP-arrow launches the hatchling (ball) and triggers special powers (depending on current power-up)
At the final stages of a level the Starshooter can be utilized to finish the level quicker. It can be triggered by pressing on the blue star with the mouse or by pressing SPACE


SPACE can also be used to confirm messages without having to use the mouse.

A fun breakout style game. At first thought it was going to be another boring catch-the-stars game. Then out came the ball and bricks and I thought it would be another boring breakout clone. But I kept playing and found it has enough original charm to not be just another clone. Bravo dev! Also, mad props for the simple act of letting space bar clear the messages. Too many devs here don't understand that I don't want to have to keep moving my hand from the keyboard to the mouse and back again just to play a game.
One bug I did find: In the tutorial level where it told me to catch three stars, one fell and I caught it. Then no more fell. I waited a few seconds for another star, and then a message came up and said I missed too many stars.

LittleTortoise responds:

Thanks for the nice feedback. I will check on that bug as soon as I get out of work.
I wonder how many people didn't keep playing assuming the same as you did. To be honest I knew that this is a risk, but somehow I also didn't want to take away the charm of finding out that there is a bit more to it. Glad you liked it!

Edit: Problem should be fixed now with a few other things, just updated.. thanks again for your input!
