Brick In by shockeye
This is an inverted Break Out clone, where the bricks are being added to the level and you must bounce them out.

1 point for each brick you hit, 5 points when you bounce one right out of the brick pit.
Game ends when you are forced to the top of the pit or more than 10 bricks pile up above you.

Cool concept but yeah, the input could be a bit more responsive.
It felt like I'm on ice and it was easier to score with swinging left and right, wall to wall, than by playing it concentrated,
604? I got much higher scores during the time there was a bug in the score system 😃 Ha ha.
Spotted that just before release!
Which would make it too easy, but you could add more complex goals like trying to keep a brick bouncing as long as possible or something like that.
Maybe add some brick crusher in the middle where players can(with carefully aimed bounce)throw brick to be destroyed. That would be very satisfying. In the future you could add some sound effects and maybe some camera shake when brick gets crushed for extra satisfaction.
Anyways, congratz on getting game done in such a sort time!
Great job!
Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam!
