At our LD meetup, another jammer had the crazy idea for "Breakout Hockey" and I knew it could be cranked out in a day's worth of effort with Godot. So, here it is! This was built in Godot 3.

This is my first LD submission, and I enjoyed taking part in LD 41!

Nice sports and arcade/breakout mashup!

After the loading bar, it is just a black screen for me :/

There doesn't seem to be any particular challenge to the game, or even a way to lose it. You'll win just by doing nothing. Without the risk of failure, there is no sense of reward.

I'm not entirely sure what the losing condition is? Also, it seems like the collision detection is somewhat broken -- lots of blocks didn't break when the puck (?) bounced off of them. Also, the puck really liked to get stuck with low vertical velocity, which was kind of frustrating.

I think breakout + sports could be interesting, but it would need more work.

I think you succeeded in terms of theme.
