Very funny. Having the lives and score counter consistent through each game was nice to keep them linked. I think that this would have worked a lot better with the theme if, instead of adding features to each new stage, you worked your way backward to the most basic visuals.

I found two things to be quite annoying: the first one is the dying sound, the second is performance, which was quite poor despite the minimalistic graphics, the game was especially laggy in breakout\/arkanoid mode (I was playing in Firefox 21 stable)."},{"author_name":"Monxcleyr Productions","author_uid":"18483","time":"May 19, 2013 @ 10:54am","epoch":1368960540,"text":"This was a lot of fun, had a smile on my face through most of it.
