That is crazy coincidence. i just released demo my rogue like breakout clone on Steam next fest. i picked a more of a bullet hell/shoot em up kind of approach. Faster the better.

I had great fun playing yours. Sound design is especially good.

Your coins look like coins, i'm a bit jealous and will do the same :) So you're going for a longer play style, with many levels, and a character build where you have a very strong ship at the end ? I think trying to tell stories around such a simple mechanic with nicely designed levels and background is a great idea ! If you release out of steam at some point, I'd love to try it. I'm allergic to that platform and its constant updates, my gaming pc does not connect to the internet and will stay on windows 10 forever.

Thank you. It is kinda like Tetris, blocks falling constantly. you have limited time to get strong and destroy blocks.

i struggled greatly on balancing. My solution was to make director behind the scenes to make sure player never gets bored. Downside is; game is quite hard for non breakout players. Aiming is crucial.

i did release the demo on itch.io But it lacks some features. i will update it tomorrow.

here i have updated it to latest. https://arcadenest-games.itch.io/rogue-bricks

I'll give it a try. Itch quarantined your page, i'm not sure why. I don't care because my gaming pc is airgapped but you might want to look into it. When clicking download i got this :
