An old classic arcade game of Breakout.

Scenario / World:


The game scenario is set within a technical space style theme.

Single Player

Destroy as many bricks as you can until your 3 lives are spent.


Characters:


There is no main game character. Just bricks, a paddle and ball.


Audio / visual aesthetics:



Graphics are simple, arcade vector in style.

Bricks are deep red in color.

The background is a rotating animation of space.

Audio is also classic arcade in style in that there are lots of blops and blips etc.



Genre(s):


arcade

Possible Target Audience:



Everyone



Itemization of game elements:



The game begins as soon as the first screen loads.

Along the top of the screen displays 6 columns of red bricks.

The bottom GUI (graphical user interface) displays total points, lives left and level currently being played.

1/4 from the bottom is the paddle and ball that you need to bounce around the playing screen.

 


Itemization of game rules:



Hit the ball across the screen with a paddle, aiming towards the line of bricks at the top.

Destroy as many bricks as you can.

Bounce the ball at different angles off the top and side walls of the screen.

When a brick is hit, it's destroyed and the overall score tally increases.

Don't let the ball hit the bottom of the screen, or you lose a turn.

Keep going until your 3 lives are spent.
