Island in the Sky
About
What I've got so far for GBJam #5. My first jam and also first attempt at actually finishing a game! So far it's been tutorials and "Can I do this? Yes, now trash it." I'm pushing against my nature to get this done on time! Can I do it? You'll just have to tune in to find out...
I'd love to hear back from anyone with advice or comments! Even if it's just "Lame, another Breakout clone..."!
Controls:
Spacebar - start ball moving at beginning of level and after respawn
Left and Right - move paddle
R - restart game after losing all lives (working on automating this...)
Minimum viable product (complete)
+Ball that bounces off walls, bricks, and paddle, and is destroyed when it leaves the room
+Paddle that moves left and right, stopping at walls
+Bricks that break after 3 hits
Stage 1 features (in process)
+Ball changes angle when hit by different parts of paddle (works! -But sometimes shoots ball downward when hit on side...)
+Speed of ball increases over time
+Number of lives that decreases when ball leaves the room
