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
