Updated: Block Breaker: Quick

Bugs like the ball getting quicker with each bounce, losing speed when ball hits between two blocks sometimes, and vertical loop.

Hello everyone, I’m proud to present my finished product of Section 5: Block Breaker : Block Breaker: Quick! The game has 10 Levels in total, all themed with Hiroshi Nagai’s relaxing paintings (btw everything belongs to the rightful owner). Block Breaker is a bit of a challenge for me, I really want to test my capability as for someone with no background with coding but although that’s the case it was fun. I was proud of myself because I tried to add some features like the Lives system and the special block that gives you a 1Up, and I did it all in my own by solving with logic and using what I’ve learned so far from the course, with bug squashing on the side :joy:. I call that improvement, I guess? And also I added new sprites, UI, a trail effect for the ball for it to look cool and a title (although I’m really bad at Photoshop). I had a lot of problems finishing this but I managed to push through and solve them. I hope you like the game!

Here’s my title screen, it’s very minimalist I’d say.

Liked the look and feel of the pieces and the trail. So good job overall. Coming to the issues I feel the ball speeds up too much in a few bounces.
Also as in many other brick breaker style games on here it went and started bouncing between 2 walls as shown for ever.
And then the ball disappeared all together leaving me stuck on the level.

I just fixed it, not ideal but it works. My coding knowledge lacks so I really can’t fix the ball’s vertical loop :sweat_smile: What I did was add another collider that is 1 x 1 and z rotation is set to 45° on both left and right. I also fixed the slow down when the ball hits between or the gap of 2 blocks by setting the mass of the ball by 0.001 and gravity to 0 (also set the bounce material to 1.001 since that seems to maintain speed.

I want to get good at coding already to create games perfectly :cry:.
But I’ll keep learning :smile:.

Another way to do it is to add some smaller edges to your ball. Nice game!

i like the game maybe you can make a mode where you keep your lives at the same amount as the last level :marathon mode

Sounds like you’re on the right track, fixing those issues. Just keep at it—eventually it’ll click. If you’re looking for a fun example, check out this block breaker game that might inspire you. this block breaker game that might inspire you. this block breaker game that might inspire you

As a fellow dev, I appreciate you sharing the bug details like the ball speed inconsistencies. It reminds me of the upgrade balancing challenges in moral-choice clicker games , where each choice impacts the entire experience. Keep iterating!
