Plonat Atek is a polar-coordinates Breakout clone that is played by viewing the Audio output on a Vectorscope/Oscilloscope.
It also features an audiovisual (8-beat :stuck_out_tongue:) soundtrack and sound effects!
Since what you see on the 'scope is the sound, the sound effects double as visual feedback/impact effects and the soundtrack has been hidden in the graphics.
Here's a video of what it looks and sounds like:

The project was built in PureData, a visual programming language for audio, or a digital modular synthesizer if you will.
It requires a few modules from `zexy`, an extension to vanilla PureData (I have created this in pd-extended).
I will also provide a .wav upload for those who cannot or don't want to run PureData but want to check if that sound-is-image thing is really true :wink:
