This isn't new but it is updated! Hopefully the high score table will no longer cause lag on slower computers during game play. Because of the update, I've reset the high score table. Watch the Batty Ball Bouncer video here! https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube/V8CJ2IM8078/ There are 60 levels at present. If someone beats them all then I may consider adding more... This isn't meant to be an exact copy of Arkanoid. There are several great Scratch versions of that already. I've added my own slant to the mechanics, effects and general gameplay to make this different. I did borrow the graphics and level design though... Precision mode allows you to direct the ball much more accurately than normal mode whereas normal mode is a more conventional Arkanoid-style control system. Music: Bolero by Maurice Ravel, March of the Mods by Joe Loss and His Orchestra, It's a Secret from Battleblock Theater, Yakety Sax by Boots Randolph and James Q. “Spider” Rich Graphics: Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh (iOS) SFX: Arkanoid (SNES) Level design: Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh Dedicated reader reward! ----------------------------------------------------------- It's always nice to find Scratchers who read the instructions so here are the steps to reap your reward! 1) Follow RokCoder (just because...) 2) Go to the demo screen 3) Type the name of your favourite Scratcher ;) 4) Leave an unexplained comment saying "Batty Egg Bouncer!" 5) Press and hold the mouse button until the game starts Any scores attained this way won't be registered on the cloud leaderboard! @gregatku inspired me to make a game like this during our discussions about a bat 'n' ball tutorial he's making: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/179893289/ @papipupepappa deserves mention for his excellent version: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/390057141/ has a really fun breakout game here: And respect to Woz for writing Little Brick Out back in the day. Man, I loved that game :) Still reading? I've left my editor in the code - press E while hitting the green flag to fire it up! Once you've opened the editor, scores are no longer registered in the cloud variables until you've refreshed the project. (My take on the breakout/arkanoid type games. This was put together fairly quickly but I'm really pleased with the result. Give it a go!)
