I really like how you basically flipped Breakout on its head and instead of blowing up the bricks, the player is now trying to build them before the ball can destroy them. Very neat concept, amazing visuals and sound, I could sit and play this game for hours. Honestly, my only complaint after several plays of the game is that once you DO hit game over, the animation of the bricks filling up the screen takes a few seconds and I want to get back to playing like right now :laughing: Great job!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":817226,"author_name":"fatPenguin","author_uid":"fatpenguin","epoch":1649461864,"text":"What a great idea to invert the bricks gameplay!

I just wished there was other mechanics or strategy than frenetically clicking where the ball will land. Maybe some power-ups for yourself and not for the \"enemy\" : auto-build, stronger bricks, larger pad, ball power-ups dispelling, ...\n\nNice start, but too short. More please !

It feels retro but like it got it's own kind of vibe at the same time. I love the sounds and animations, and the game is surprisingly challenging. The way the walls become powerups is quite clever. There are so many small but interesting mechanics. I would maybe speed up the \"brick wall transitions\" a tiny bit. Overall a great entry!
