What?
_holdline is a less forgiving reworking of the classic Breakout game. It is also influenced by classics Pong and Space Invaders.
_holdline frees up the paddle from its restricted single plane-of-movement, and allows you to move the paddle over the entire playing field. It also allows greater choice in the direction in which you fire the ball when you are in striking range.
In exchange for these greater powers, I have increased the difficulty of the objectives, with enemies capable of damaging you and moving, as opposed to the static blocks of the old Breakout.
Why?
This is part of my initiative to build up a body of work in order to better appeal to potential employers. It's a bit of a "notice me, senpai", and I hope to God that that last sentence doesn't cost me a job.
Controls
The only controls you'll need are your mouse and your arrow keys. Wait until the ball is above the paddle, aim, and click to fire. Survive for as long as you can!
