Simple Arkanoid

How to play

Arrow keys to move, space to launch the ball (not playable in mobile).

There are 6 levels for now, organized as a loop. Level 7 has the same layout as level 1, and so on, so you your goal is to keep playing to beat your hiscore rather than to beat the game.

Points are awarded based on:

• Level number (more points per brick each level).
• Streak (the more bricks you break between paddle touches, the more points you get for each brick).
• Ball speed, which increases with each brick broken (the more fast the ball, the more points per brick).

Extra life at 1.000 points, and then doubling each time (so you get extra lifes at 2.000, 4.000, 8.000, etc.)

If you lose all your lives, you start over from level 1, setting a Hiscore if it applies (no cutscene or in-screen ;messages so stay alert).

About the game

This is a rather simple Arkanoid version, done more as an learning exercise than looking for a complete game. I decided to skip any kind of menu or intro this time so I can go on with my 20-games-challenge (this would be game #2). Maybe in the future I will make a better version with different brick types, power-ups, moving enemies, etc.

Anyway, I still think it's an enjoyable version.

Hope you like it.
