This is a Breakout-style game. Except in this one, you can move the paddle with the mouse anywhere on the screen to hit the balls and break the bricks.
Also, the bottom area has a moving space where you try to avoid with the balls. There are 3 different extra goodies that come down from some of the random bricks and you must put your paddle on them to use them. One is "500" which is 500 extra points. The other is "More" where another green ball come into play. And the last one is "Super" where a new red ball comes that can go straight through the bricks without deflecting on them. The limit of balls on the screen is 5.
I've been wanting to update Brick Smasher 1 for a few years. Brick Smasher 2 was never fully developed. On this one I am finally able to deflect the ball mostly in the opposite direction as where it was hit. But I also added a tiny bit of randomness to it too in case the ball was caught moving completely sideways or completely vertical. I also added the new sounds that QB64pe has which I recently learned about.
I hope you all like playing it as much as I have. There might be some quirks. For example a text coming down will disappear if another one of the same text appears somewhere else. There might be times where the ball goes through the paddle, but I fixed almost all of that. Or if the ball is coming upward and doesn't bounce back down sometimes. But in my mind, it takes me back to the Atari days when those games weren't perfect either.
Tell me what you think, thanks.
