Script description

Neon Breakout

Break the glowing wall before the ball gets past you. Three lives, no mercy.

Panels: 52x16 and 32x8

The game

A brick wall above, a paddle below, and a ball that gets faster every time you
think you have it.

Where the ball strikes the paddle decides where it leaves — centre sends it
back up, the edges send it away at an angle. That turns the last pixel of the
paddle into a tool rather than a near miss, and it is most of the skill.

What to watch for

  • The speed-up. The ball accelerates as the wall thins out, so the last few
    bricks are harder than the first forty.
  • The paddle flash. It whitens for a moment on contact, which is your only
    confirmation on a busy frame.
  • Three lives, shown in the corner.

Controls

  • LEFT / RIGHT — slide the paddle
  • SELECT — launch the ball, and restart after a loss
  • Gamepad — the D-pad slides, A launches

Settings

  • Sound effects (on) — bounces, bricks, the loss of a life
  • Music (on) — a bed that keeps out of the way of the effects
  • Announce the score (on) — speaks the score at the end
