Overview

• The player controls a platform which can move left and right. The goal is to destroy all blocks by deflecting the ball with the platform.

Player

• The player can move a platform using left and right arrow keyboard buttons. Initially the player can choose the angle of the ball by pressing the left mouse button.

Ball

• The ball moves linearly and reflects from edges, blocks and the player's platform.

Environment

• The level consists of blocks, which could be destroyed by a single hit. The ball should reflect from blocks after their destruction.
• The platform sometimes (randomly, with a chance 15%) catches the ball instead of deflecting it. The player is able to choose the direction and shoot on the left mouse button.
• The first ability (positive) increases and the second one (negative) decreases the speed of the platform by 40%. Ability stays active for 20 seconds. Abilities are “stackable”, it means that it is possible to have multiple active instances of the same ability. Minimum speed is 50%, maximum is 200% of a default speed.
• Abilities spawn in a random position every 15 seconds. Abilities do not collide with blocks (fall through them), but still collide with a platform.

Win/loss conditions

• The player loses when the ball is not caught by the platform. Victory can be achieved by destroying all blocks and catching the ball with the platform after.
