Design & Prototype
The game started with a simple idea. Take two existing arcade classics and mash them together. I got the basic mechanics working on the first day and used the second to refine the physics and controls.
Once I was happy with the foundation I used a retro CRT shader, particle effects and screen shake to add some flavor before creating some more brick types and a few basic levels.
Further Development
After the initial game jam was over I decided to continue development so I could release the project on Steam in order to familiarize myself with the process for future projects.
With the help of an additional team member I tweaked the game feel and optimized the mechanics. We also added additional menus for settings, a save/progress system for levels and a combo counter. As well as more levels and increased audio/visual feedback.

We also added some additional features including different game modes, paddles types and a sudden death option.
