One thing I have planned for later, is a second game mode. Basically I've seen this really popular game where you aim your ball and it shoots like 100 of the damn things, and the bricks all have a number on them (representing how many times they need to be hit to be destroyed). And I figure once the game is officially released, I can add the game mode since I'll already have the physics engine, and I'll just need to change the gameplay slightly.

Ew, what are you blind? This looks like an Atari 2600 game.

It was a joke. Breakout was on the 2600.

Oh rip xD. The sad part is I think I have the cartridge for that too...

Sweet. The graphics need work (sorry), but this is the game that led to my Puzzle Bobble addiction. Amazing that somebody hasn't already made this, but I'm glad it's finally part of the 3DS homebrew cornucopia.

Edit: This is also my 4,000th post. Woot.

Thanks! Also I know the graphics need to be more than just flat shapes, I'm actually working on that part right now. Also is puzzle bobble the one where you aim a gun and shoot colored balls to hit other balls of the same color (making them disappear)?

Yup. It's known as Bust a Move in North America. It feels like a more strategic Breakout coupled with Puyo Puyo. It's quite the enthralling puzzle game.

Clearly Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is the best Puyo Puyo game ever. No Questions asked.

What do you think of this brick design? (Blue row only atm)

dude, you bricked your game. But yes, those do look nice.

lmao

I'd suggest working on the paddle and ball design, the new brick design looks good imo.

Current commit (as of this post of course) has all the bricks done. I'll work on the ball next, though unless anyone else concurs with you on the paddle, I don't think I'll change it right now.

For those watching this thread, what do you think of the current version?
