After an eventful week, I was finally able to complete my breakout game, which took longer than expected. It's now up for grab on ThreeSixBox.com.

Game Features:

- 6 Item types
- 14 Brick types, including animated
- 7 Levels
- 3 Difficulty settings
- Animated paddle
- Spin Control
- 4 Fast-paced Soundtracks
- 2 players mode
- Extra Ball every 10K Points
- Point Multipliers

Now I can finish that other game I've been working on, which will be a 2d shoot-em-up, and will hopefully be my last 2d game.
I've already started working with 3d but masterning collisions is easier said then done, not to mention that I'll have to learn how to process models.. oh well , one day at a time.

Since I'm not yet done with my breakout game, I decided to take some time to migrate the other games I've made, without any changes. And it only took 2 hours if not less.

You can find the games in the XNA Games list or on ThreeSixBox.

If everything goes smoothly,  I should have a demo of the breakout game ready by the weekend with the source code.

Science help us!

As promised, here's a preview of the improved breakout game (didn't find a name for it yet)

<800x600 Preview>

Unfortunately it will take a couple of days before I release a version of it, I still have a couple of things to do..

• add drops
• fix the mouse controls
• add a spin effect & meter
• design a new paddle, possibly animated
• design animated bricks
• create a 2-player mode

until then, keep gaming!

I started migrating my breakout game, and will be improving it alot.

I will post some screenshots tomorrow to let the lucky ones who visit this page see what the game looks like.
