[WIP] Breakout in Rainmeter

Post by theAzack9 »

Hi,

I just wanted to show this here too ;)

Anyone got any ideas for powerups? (currently i have 2x score, 3x score, +1 ball, +2 balls and safe zone)

the safe zone basically creates a barrier so that no balls can escape :p

I would love to see your game, theAzack9. I was a big fan of Arkanoid on NES in my childhood.
Speaking of powerups, I hope you remember that in classic breakout game powerups are used by catching special falling capsules. Here is a list of powerups, or special capsules, that I remeber were on Arkanoid with some that I imagined just now :)
2 balls
3 balls
Slow ball
Quick ball
Sticky ball
Destroyer ball (destroys bricks without ricocheting)
Shorten platform
Longer platform
Revert platform to normal
Deflect a ball instead of the miss
Laser shots from platform
+1 life capsule
Death capsule

That's how it currently works ;)

All nice powerups ( some are already implemented ;) )
