Alien conquest themed breakout game with a few interesting diversions from the formula.

Update: Added a windows 8 version, wherein I removed all the sound, which apparently caused the game to crash on windows 8.

Update: Fixed a bug where the ball would get stuck in the floor.

Great game!

Great idea and execution! I really like the art and the added features. Could have been a little harder and the ball got stuck on the fourth (last?) level - it hit the bottom corner of a building and the floor and wouldn't move - but overall really good! :)

Really nice combination of the Theme with a "classic" mechanics! The twist to the Arkanoid is really good. Assets, like graphics and sounds are really good and cohesioned.

Great job taking some classic mechanics and fitting them into the feel of the game. Gets a little tedious when there are so few buildings left, but really well done. One of the best I've played so far!

The graphic is excellent.

Took me awhile to figure out that I had to rebound the giant boulders. But once I starting doing that it was like a big nice revelation. Mass destruction ensued.

Love your game man! Hey I fixed mine up if you can take another look at it!

This game is excellent for the theme, super well executed, well balanced, art is very intricate and intresting. Kudos!

The game seems to be pretty good.
Bad thing game maker has bug with sounds when using win8, game just crashes when there are to many sounds play on the same time.

Though, all I saw was very good.

Very enjoyable! It is a bit slow when there's only one building left, but probably the most fun game I've tried so far, good job

Lovely, "this goes to the i have to remember this guy" list
Art and execution was simply great.

Nice work! Good subtlety in the controls, and nicely put together. The sound effects fit well too. It does have that takes-forever-to-finish-a-level thing common to all breakout games, but that's a peril of the genre.

I enjoyed the take on the Breakout game!

What would have made this perfect, though, was tossing in a little Rampage, ie: The buildings fell down after you did enough damage to them. This would have avoided the tedium that's already been mentioned about having just one or two oddly placed "blocks" left.

There's not many games that have me shouting "hit the ambulance! hit the ambulance!" ;-D

Great graphics and cool Arkanoid gameplay! I would liked to have been able to control the UFO with the mouse, but aside from that, perfect!

tooked me some time to figure out how to play it but the mechanics are really cool

Wonderful looking game with a fresh take on the theme and very solid gameplay. One of my favorites from LD25! Make a kickass song and it'll be even more rad.
