Acid Ball - an Arkanoid clone

I've been working on an Arkanoid clone the past few weeks and I'm finally ready to share it. It's not quite done - I still have a lot of levels to make (there's only 12 so far) and I'm sure there's a bunch of bugs that need addressed.

Anyway, I'd love some feedback/tips and I hope you enjoy it!

Here's an itch.io link for those interested. There are 32 levels in this build!

This looks great! I really like the idea to use a crank for controls. I played this in the Simulator, so this might be not an issue on the real thing, but I wonder if the crank might be a little more sensitive? I lost quite a few lives because I was not fast enough to turn the crank into the correct position.

Other than that small nitpick, great work!

It's definitely harder to control in the simulator than on real hardware. If you have a controller you should give that a try

The Acid Ball is a pretty popular landmark here in Salem Oregon. They've mosaic'd over it and renamed it the Eco-Earth Globe now, but nobody calls it that.

Acid Ball Forever!
