Pretty cool game! Like how the pacing was controlled with the goalposts getting bigger.

Pretty fun game! I do enjoy how the theme of growth was actually incorporated in a way that mechanically influenced gameplay. The growing goals posts was a pretty clever idea. Great job!

A neat mashup between Pong and Breakout. I like the character art and the music but I thought the upgrade tokens could be clearer in their function and more distinct form each other. I was also a bit confused as to what each menu option did, it looks like they all just run the game? I thought the AI opponent was well-balanced. Overall pretty enjoyable.

Really liked the mash up between breakout/pong. Nice concept. But there's something really really annoying. The physics is not reliable and sometimes the ball bounces in a completely random way. Good character art and music.

Haha this is really fun. You should also bring it onto mobile platform, I think

What a great idea! I didn't really understand the interest of the break out part, until first powerup appear (too bad there's only one though - I'm at the 7th match). Graphics and audio are solid, gameplay is a little hazardous sometimes with bouncing but we get over it. Really well done! :)

One of the best I've seen so far. The controls are fluid, the movements are fluid too. Don't looks like a 3 day made game.

On a side note, just read your names and realized you're fellow Brazilians. And on my game page I was trying to explain what "Junim" means hahahaha

Good work!

I really loved the mechanics mixed with pong and brakeout!
i was going to suggest to add more balls and itens... but you already did it!
nice!

Surprisingly fresh despite the age-old inspirations (Arkanoid and Strika. Come on people, it's right in the name!)

Good job.

This is a really cool idea. I love the combination of Pong and Arkanoid - it's great! With a little more time, I'd love to see the bricks drop powerups much like modern Arkanoid. There are some things that you could enhance too with even more polish (think like Rocket League's explosion when you score a goal). Those are for a later time, though. This entry is fantastic as is and I really enjoyed playing it. Thanks for rating and commenting on GET IT OUT!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And congrats on finishing!!!

Weird to mix Pong and Breakout together but I really liked that! It has a nice simple charm to it, and it's very well made. Good stuff overall! :D
