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
+Restart level when lives decreases to 0

Stage 2 features (If I have time!)
+Multiple levels, change to next level when all blocks destroyed (only two right now, just to test going from room to room)
+Sound
+Block that creates an extra ball when destroyed
-Music
-Title Screen
-???
-Profit!
-Never bounce the ball down from the paddle (Must squash bug! Later!)
