Breakout!Current Version: alpha 4!(title subject to change)Updated screenshots will be added soon.
Hey guys,
I've run out of stuff to add to my minesweeper game (besides more boards but that is pretty boring) SO: Im making a new game with game maker based on breakout, the theme is generaly futuristic neon etc and itl have a nice geometry wars distortion effect. There isnt much of a game just yet, just the paddle and the ball bouncing around but why dont you guys give me some feedback.
hopefully this game will be much more technically impressive than minesweeper since i've learned a lot from my last game.
Controls:left-right move the paddle
click with the mouse to deform grid (this is just a preview to showcase the effect, it will be implemented differently in the final game)
Hit the bricks, hitting the bricks gives 5 points, destroying a brick (3 hits) gives 20 points
space to pause the game
esc quits the game
Cheats (I use these for testing purposes only - They will be removed/edited as I see fit
Press any of these keys during gameplay to activate a cheat, some cheats do not have toggle and so you will have to restart the game to turn the cheats off.
0 - Enables <Enter> making the ball shoot up. Useful for when the ball gets stuck horizontally.
9 - Enables Infinite Lives.
8 - Toggles different paddle sizes (will be available as powerup in future
7 - Toggles mouse controls off/on. Keyboard controls are broken when this is on. Turning it off restores keyboard controls.
