I think I like the concept. It is basically a game for core or hardcore players. While I respect that the game is Space Invader meets Brick Break, I can't say I can get past the game long enough to know if it is good. I guess it deserves 5 stars. It is just difficult. In my opinion. There are some players that would like games like this, and just because a game is hard, doesn't mean it is bad. I can suggest that there be a controls menu or display or optional controls. Just in case they don't read the tags. It is a fun game. I just didn't make a lot of time to play it in one go. I'm sorry if this wasn't helpful. I'm just placing my thoughts here.

Edit: I ~almost~ had a victory, and I think the ball bounces unpredictably sometimes. Maybe there is some physics rule or ball bounce consistency limit I'm not memorizing. It is okay if it is a parody or if that is just how the ball traditionally works in brick breakers. I'm okay with your choice of content. And I won't make you make any type of content. I would just be careful should there be a sequel with that feature or an edit to that feature.

I like the concept! What's here is satisfying, challenging and fun with a nice mid to late round pace!

Here are a few recomendations to help refine and realize it!

A bass-ey precussive sound when the ball impacts the blocks would add a good, solid feel to the block breaking!

I recomend having the ball start out slower and speed up to this build's current ball speed as the level progresses.

A hotkey to quickly start another round without using the coursor would help streamline the game.

You may also want to experiment with wider horizontal space to take full advantage of the space invaders elements!

I hope this information is usefull, have a good day and a happy Halloween!

just terrible

It's Breakout, yet it's way too fast.
