How have you integrated the theme in your game?
We integrated the theme directly into the core gameplay loop.
In our game, certain bricks are marked as "rule bricks" and each one represents a specific game rule. When the player destroys these rule bricks during normal brick-breaking gameplay, the corresponding rule is immediately altered or removed.

Really great, simple game. Definitely had some trouble until I switched to mouse and got my sensitivity figured out lol. Maybe I just didn't make it far enough to see more of the effects, but definitely felt it could have gone juuuust a little further early on, since plenty of brick breaker type games implement similar upgrades. But overall really solid game, great job.
Thank you so much for playing and for the thoughtful feedback! That’s a very fair point about the early progression. With more time, we would’ve loved to expand on the effects and introduce them earlier to make the gameplay feel more dynamic.
Thanks again for sharing your experience, we really appreciate it :D
Breakout is a great genre for a breaking the rules game. The 3 lives only is a little harsh for people like me who are bad at this but at least everything I've seen is great.
Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words! That’s a very fair point about the 3 lives, game balance is definitely something we’d like to improve in the future :)
Loved the sound effects. They were pleasing to hear while breaking the blocks (and the rules). It was a nice catch having to "enable" the rules back!
Thanks a ton! We’re really glad you enjoyed the sound effects and that little moment of "enabling" the rules again.
And credits to the asset creators for the audio, their work really helped make those moments feel satisfying. We truly appreciate it :D
The game is cool, but it would be better if there was a fullscreen button. Right now, I have to zoom out to 75% in the browser to play, but it’s still cool :D
Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback! We’re really glad you still enjoyed the game.
And thanks for pointing that out, we actually forgot to add a fullscreen button. We’ll definitely be more mindful of things like this in the future to improve the player experience. Appreciate the reminder :)
Nice job on finishing the game! The gameplay is solid for a Ping Pong style game. However, I feel the theme integration is a bit weak because it just uses labels on the bricks. It would have been awesome if breaking the 'Rules' brick actually changed the game physics or mechanics! Good effort though.
Thank you so much for playing and for the thoughtful feedback! You’re absolutely right about the theme integration, having the "Rules" bricks actually change the mechanics was originally what we wanted to achieve. Unfortunately, with the limited time during the jam, we had to go with a simpler implementation.
We really appreciate your suggestion, and thanks again for sharing your thoughts :D
The player feedback of every brick hit is satisfying. with little more polish, this can be a full fledged game!
Thank you so much! We totally agree, if we had more time during the Jam, we would’ve loved to push the polish further and reach more of the goals we had in mind :)
this is honestly fire keep it up if this was in my queue it would have gotten a 5
Thanks a lot! That really means a ton to us :D
Nice game!
Thanks for the nice words :)
