Really hard, and hard to see as well, really addicting
Thank you, the difficulty was intentional as most Atari games were hard but the lighting on the enemies shots was not. I ment to fix that but I kept forgetting and always ended up tweaking other things instead 😞.
It's really cool! You had a nice idea to reimagine Breakout, it's a pillar of the Atari 2600!
Thanks! Yes thats the first thing that came to mind when I though Atari lol. Im also a fan of shmups so I thought I'd try and combine it with something like Yars revenge, I'm glad you liked it!
It really captures the feeling of the console, very nice! Also quite challenging, as it should be. Maybe the enemy bullets are a bit too dark — it’s a little hard to see them. Great job!
You know whats crazy? I remember telling myself multiple times "hmm I should brighten the color of the bullets a bit." and then I'd proceed to tweak and fix something else 🤣. Eventually forgot about it and uploaded it . I'm glad you liked it though, and I appreciate the feedback!
This was fun to play. Maybe it's just my browser but I couldn't see the bottom or top of the screen. Overall, great job. You even captured the 'stretchy' Atari pixels.
Thank you! yeah the size was something I had to make bigger since I wanted everything in one screen but the resolution to be good so I had to adjust the Viewport size which did end up making it a bit too big. I appreciate the feedback!
Also if your on Windows you can download the game, it runs/looks/sounds better when its running off the executable.
Its realy hard :(
Yeah I'm sorry but that was kinda intentional on my part. I remember most Atari Games being unforgiving in terms of difficulty, but you can sometimes get lucky with a good combination of powerups. I might think about making a Difficulty setting in the future if I decide to expand a bit more on it. Thanks for trying it out though and I appreciate your feedback!
