What do you do in this game?

This game is breakout, bounce the ball off your paddle and off the bricks, don't miss or you'll loose a life. Laser beams will come up every so often, in bursts of two at the same time or just one. If two are at the same time, you will be given the warning bar at the bottom of the screen, which is there purely for decoration.

Avoid the lasers!

The hitboxes for the lasers are quite unforgiving, you'll know if you've been hit as a hit indicator will pop up where you got hit on the screen!

Stop the boxes from reaching the line!

On top of the red line being the visual indicator for the limit of where you can move using the mouse controls, if the bricks reach that line, the game will be over as if you had run out of lives!

Using the physics-based control of the ball

The ball is controlled by hitting it with the paddle, and depending on the speed at which the paddle hits the ball, it controls the speed at which it shoots back. Hitting the ball as if you hit a tennis ball with a tennis racket will drastically increase the speed of the ball! Be careful though, as even though it will hit more bricks, it'll be harder to control! Demonstrated in the gameplay video.

Controls
