SUMMARY A fun uniquely challenging and brutal arcade game with beautiful 3D visuals inspired by the Breakout games with 80 levels over 4 phases with different brick shape themes. The game forces you to split your focus 4 ways as you must try to control FOUR different paddles at the same time on each edge of the screen while trying to maintain control over the ball in more and more chaotic situations! The aim of the game is to contain and destroy the bricks before they drift out of the screen or touch your paddles! The bricks have physics based collisions and are fully destructible! The mouse controls all 4 paddles at once so easy to learn but difficult to master! Your reflexes will be put to the test! SPECIAL 3 STAR TYPES STAR RATINGS AND CROWNS GAME PLAY SYSTEM Star Types There are 3 Types of stars needed to finish a level – The Time Left Star - The Lives Lost Star and - The Bricks Lost Star. Star ratings Each of these stars have Bronze Silver Gold and Platinum difficulty levels. Similarly there are also 4 types of Crowns the Bronze Silver Gold and Platinum crowns. Crowns The Crown achieved for each level is decided based on the overall minimum star rating achieved. For example if you have obtained a minimum of a bronze star for each Star Type then you have achieved the Bronze Crown. If you have bronze stars for two Star Types and a Platinum star for the third Star Type then you will still only have achieved the Bronze Crown. Similarly if you have a minimum of 3 silver stars you will have achieved the Silver Crown. If you have a minimum of 3 gold stars you will have achieved the Gold Crown. If you have a minimum of 3 platinum stars you will have achieved the Platinum Crown. POWER-UPS There are twenty different types of power-ups some of which can be combined for powerful combos! CONTROLS The controls are very straight forward to grasp but surprisingly difficult to master. There are 4 paddles one at each edge of the platform. The left and right paddles move up and down the screen on one axis only by only following the upward and downward movement of the mouse. Similarly the top and bottom paddles move left and right on one axis only by only following the right and left movement of the mouse. HELPER BLOCKS In order to ease the player into the game initial levels provide helper blocks that block random sides of a level and allow the player to focus on the other edges while getting used to the concept of using 4 different paddles moving on different axes. But only the initial levels! Once past them youre on your own! LEVELS The game currently has 80 levels and more levels and themes may be added as updates to the game in the future depending on the success and popularity of the game. The 80 levels are divided into 4 different phases. o The first phase introduces Rectangular and Square faced 3d bricks. oThe second set introduces Pentagonal 3d bricks. oThe third set introduces Hexagonal 3d bricks. oThe fourth set introduces Spherical and Ovoid shaped 3d bricks. All these bricks are combined and mixed and matched to create more and more complex levels. PROGRESS At the start of the game only the first level will be unlocked. You need a minimum of a Bronze Crown in order to unlock the next level and progress. The highest achievement possible for each level is to get the Platinum Crown. But the required achievements for this are really punishing so if you can do this for all the levels then youve really mastered the controls and the game! SAVE FILES There are 3 Save files available. The game will auto-save your progress between levels. During the play through of a level the game is not saved so game progress will be lost if you exit during a level. However for all those stat-lovers out there total game play time total lives lost total power-ups collected etc. will still be saved to the game stats page. LINUX USERS PLEASE NOTE THAT THE GAME IS UNTESTED ON LINUX
