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

Preview:

Does it have controller support? (using Dgrace's XInput plugin)

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 )

I'll get back to all this when i'm finished with my other project, which i'll post a status update on tomorrow!
