Barbarricade

A downloadable Breakanoid. Can you finish all three stages with five balls in this beta demo? Coming soon, more rounds, more music, more hidden goodies, and more fun!

This is still early, with only the first stage available, but after some tweaking I've got it to the point where the logic works the way I want it to... give or take some ropey deflection physics. I'm roughing things out for the moment, but if anyone has suggestions/tutorials on how to properly do deflections in a Breakanoid, it sure would be nifty to have that information!



You will need an analog controller (Super Action or trackball). Press a button on the CV controller to serve the ball, then use the dial to move Slim the bat across the playfield. Some bricks have special properties, as follows:



BLUE: Awards points, doesn't do anything else.
RED: Fires a dart called a "stab," up to four onscreen at once. Do not touch these with the bat. (Not implemented yet)

GREEN: Drops a coin. Grab it or concentrate on the ball? Decisions, decisions. (needs a sound effect and polishing up)

GOLD: Worth big points, but sets ball in "meteor" status. Don't let the ball get past you!

CONCRETE: Deflects ball and is impossible to destroy. Doesn't count against brick total.
