Block Blitz

Archive: 10 posts


Hey just finished my newest level, this a breakout level, with powerups, easter eggs, and all! I really like breakout games but I hadn't seen any really fancy ones, so I decided I'd make my own.

Some special things about my level:
1. It looks cool, at least I think it does, uses a lot of hologram and future materials.
2. There are a variety of different blocks you break.
-blue blocks take 5 hits, every time you hit it, it changes to a darker color and cracks more, after every hit, the points it gives you increases
-white blocks are basic, only take 1 hit and give you 30 points
-gold blocks take 1 hit and give you 1000 points
-laser blocks drop a laser powerup that activates your laser beam, they take 1 hit and give you 500 points
-x2 blocks drop a x2 powerup that will launch another ball, also take 1 hit and give you 500 points
-skull blocks drop a skull powerdown (is that a real word??) that will give you -2000 points if you grab it, take 1 hit and give you 500 points to break
3. Secrets! I threw in a couple little things that will give you some more points, just for fun (hint: try pressing some extra buttons, it might reward you)

So I hope you give it a shot and enjoy it!

Also there are a few minor bugs I've been warned of they are mainly with physics of the ball moving, which by the way is really hard to get down if you ever try. If you encounter anything annoying please tell!

Hey there!! K so I definitely think you should disable the popit for that game. also, my ball was going then it just disappeared...wouldn't let me spawn a new ball and it didn't register as a death it was really weird...2011-03-23 18:59:00

Hi Jayhawk, great level!
I remember playing this game on a commador PET as a kid, a 16k yes 16 K computer with a built in green screen monitor probably 30 years ago.....enough of me showing my age. Sure your level isn't origional, and is simple, but that is often what makes a good game you know. I strongly suggest you do as allready mentioned and disable the popit, i opened mine a number of times by mistake. The ball can move annoyingly slow sometimes, but theres not much that can be done about that I guess.
Maybe move the camera up slighlty, the controlinator controls flashing up at the bottom felt like they were in the play zone a little to much.

Great effort, well done.

If you could F4F my level 'House of the flying diggers boss fight' i'd love to know what ya think.

hey jayhawk_er, just checked out your level. you should update your thread here to include a link to the lbp page, that would be helpful for those of us here to find your level.

I thought your level was pretty interesting, but it was a bit confusing at the same time. I think you've got the physics of the ball moving but sometimes when it's whizzing around the grey on grey is a bit hard to follow, I dont know if' you've tried changing the ball collor or extending it's tail, or maybe even putting more space between the paddle and the blocks?
I also found that the slowest ball speed was way too slow, and so i tried your speed up, but that seemed to be broken or something, because instead of speeding up forward, it usually just turned around and zipped backwards in some seemingly random direction.
I would also consider moving the lives outside the playing field, you have lots of space. you may want to consider zooming in a bit too.
Sorry if I sound too negative but,I hope you are able to fix some of these things because to me they were preventing me from totally experiencing what i think would be a pretty good level.

if you've got some time please check out my newest level, F4F in the sig. thanks.

Hey thanks everyone, I thought this thread was dead, and then boom, a whole bunch of replies, I appreciate that, I'll most definitely go disable the popit, I'll fix the camera, and I think I know a way to help out the ball's physics, so thanks everyone! 2011-03-26 02:09:00

Hey Jayhawk_er, i just played your level (sorry for the delay) and here is what i think:
- The design of the level was very good
- I liked the fact that you can speed up the ball
- The badge itself looked really good

Cool thanks igordennis! I republished the level recently and it should now have the popit disabled, according to popular request, and some other minor bugs have been fixed.2011-03-28 23:27:00
