UPDATE v1.6


Wow, just look at the progress. Finally found some time to establish the new update! There are some major changes I had to make, such as removing the bombs and greatly reducing the bullet limit. I felt they made the game a bit confusing since the purpose of the ball seemed obsolete (or at least difficult to comprehend) since it moved away from the classic Pong mechanic (miss the ball, lose a life) which everyone is most familiar with. Also since the bullet count is reduced, I had to take away the power-up shields since they had made gaining power-ups a bit too tedious and frustrating. The GUI should be a little easier to understand now. I have labelled the player lives, and the bullet limits are now presented as pictures instead of integers. Oh, and one more thing: HTML5 EXPORT IS UPDATED!

  • Removed bombs

  • Ball takes away life points (again)

  • Ball adds 1 bullet per bounce instead of 5

  • Power-ups no longer have shields

  • GUI edited for better readability

  • Ships move faster and with increased acceleration

  • Pause screen now provides help with controls as well as player
    high score

  • Ball is now able to “absorb” power-ups and become a Super Ball

  • Super Ball can be shot in order to obtain the absorbed power-up,
    destroying the ball as a result

  • Golden bullet now has a bullet count, which is 1

  • Golden bullet makes sound when player shield is destroyed

  • Trishot now has a bullet count, which is 3

  • Standard bullet limit is now 6

  • (HTML5 fix) Ball now animates when created

  • (HTML5 fix) Start menu version number now has the “HTML5” tag

It's not a screenshot, but here's a song from Powerless Chaos called Pride of a Demon Slayer! I'm not sure what to do with this song yet but I'm definitely using it for something.

I was bored, so... ManutKat.

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Why walk when you can jump?

Showing off player 2 😎
