BREAK| |THROUGH

Cool concept - I found the graphics a little hard to focus on, which would have been the only detraction from what appears to be an interesting mix of breakout and space-invaders.

what a good game!!!

Nice retro sound and graphic.
Nice interpretation of the theme

Great take on this classic game! The controls feels really good and solid making it funnier to play than it maybe should be :p The visuals really add to the experience.

Pretty solid. Old good Arcanoid.

Lots of fun! A little sad that once you lose your balls you're all gone.

Took me a moment to figure out some of the rules, but overall I liked it :)
always nice to play a good breakout :)

Love them screenshakes :3
Solid and juicy.

Breakout is always fun and this version actually did subvert my expectations. Definitely worth playing for a while, new stuff keeps popping up :)

Wow, really psychadelic graphics haha. i kinda like how if you lose all your balls , you have nothing else to do than to wait for the falling blocks to kill me - gave me a kinda "oh shit i am really going to die!"-feel in my stomach :)

Nice! I love that as the blocks come down you can navigate the game as if it were a maze. That's a really novel take on breakout. The graphics are great as well. Are the green textural effects on the blocks procedurally generated?

Very nice! Loved the concept and graphics

Interesting twist :)

Would be nice if you got the game over screen as soon as you lose your last ball, but then it wouldn't be subverting my expectations I guess :P I like the style a lot.

Fun idea! Only issue was losing control of the paddle when my mouse cursor left the game area due to my frantic mousing to keep those balls going.

Nice and difficult breakout version. Cool graphics!

nice game, but it's missing a Pause button.

Really fun game!

Nice retro game mood, inspiring both the graphics and audio! Would've preferred that I lost if I lost my balls. Good luck! :)

I think you should add a mouse lock

Nice innovation of a classical game!

Simple and satisfying execution of a classic game. Good job

Nice game, maybe player could have more balls. Check my game too: Presidents bodyguard simulator.

It played well enough, but I had problems whenever the mouse left the window which happened rather too often. I know that's Flash not you.

Pretty cool game, lost all my balls in seconds and just waited for the block to kill me.

Cool graphics.
Bad sound.
Wish it had music. :(

When I lost all of the balls I had no way to restart?

Interesting take on brick breaker. Aesthetics were pretty cool too. Great job!

Nice game, awesome style, a lot of cool little details.

I lose too early...

Graphics were interesting the game was a pretty standard brick breaker but it was pretty good the only thing really lacking was innovation also. You may should have opted out of Humor

Nice, addictive and well done, though all too similar to brick breaker as it is.

My only compliant is that it doesn't end right when the balls are all gone. You have to wait for the blocks to get you.

Interesting take on a classic game.

Nicely done.I Included it in part 2 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/QrqYJieiXWs

As silly as it may sound, this is one of my favorite games so far. Simple, clean and really nice aesthetics. A twist on a game that we all know and love. Really, this was executed in a very clean and clear fashion. Good job!

Really cool game!

Give mine a try, http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=44154

I like the art style you used, the game mechanic is solid. Except when I lost all my balls and the game didn't instantly reset. Good Job.

Decent game. I like the spin on the classic block breaker concept.

Nice endless breakout-game - had a lot of fun playing this piece... Good old time ;-)
Good job!

Thanks for playing everyone! I see that at least some of you experienced the game the way I had intended, so I can now officially declare this LD a success for me.

In reaction to some of your questions and concerns:

-Regarding having to wait when you lose all your balls: intentional! Await the inevitability of death, it is your punishment for betraying the trust of the balls! (hint: if you don't want to wait you can press R at any time to restart)

-Regarding the lack of a pause feature: oops. click out of the screen and HaxeFlixel will pause it automatically though.

-Regarding the mouse leaving the screen: That'll teach me to use mouse controls in Flash. Keyboard controls just weren't responsive enough though. Oh well.

-Regarding the graphics: no procedural anything, just 16 sprites with random splotches of pixels. Cool that it seemed convincingly random, though!

Again, thanks for playing, hope to see you all next LD!

Talk about retro.
I think this game came out before breakout :)
Commodore Vic-20 or something.
Nevertheless real nice twist on the games and the look works.

It was fun - a mix of overwhelming but manageable. The graphics were hard to look at, but I do like the attempt at style.

Not very original, but a solid implementation of a good game. I appreciate the unique graphics, but wasn't a massive fan of them. Solid job overall OP. :)

The graphics and sound are great.

Love it! Nice graphics and very challenging. The only thing I missed is some music, but I really liked it.

awesome game! :D I love it

Classic but efficient. Good job.

Cool visual style and the sound effects were very fitting and satisfying!

Quite fun, and really groovy graphic style! Go HaxeFlixel!

Cool breakout. Simple gameplay works always. I like the falling blocks, they give old game a nice twist. Good job

CLASSIC ONE...

A nice little game. I do like the mix on the original breakout game, it seems quite new.

interesting take on the the breakout/arkanoid theme.

a bit slow. cool on the random width thingy of the paddle!
