Breakout Xtreme

Here it is. I’ve finally completed a Java game 100%. Finally posted a game on JGF too. ;D I’ve been programming Java for a while now, but the only thing I’ve ever created was tests and such. But I finally thought to myself, “Wait… I know enough to make a complete Java game now.”

So here it is. It’s called Breakout Xtreme. It’s a breakout clone, but not exactly like most other clones. Here are some screenshots:

The game has 15 levels. 10 singleplayer levels and 5 versus (against the AI) levels. It also has 5 special power ups (Dual-Shot Bullets, Big Paddle, Triple Balls, Stick Paddle, and Nuke).

Open BreakoutXtreme.jar to play.

Have fun! And please post comments, suggestions, and bugs. I’ve tested it a lot, so hopefully there shouldn’t be too many bugs (if any). I’ve only tested it on my Windows box at a smooth 40 FPS, 60 was too fast so I set it at 40. So here are the specs that it was tested with:
2GHz CPU
1GB RAM
Windows XP SP2
Java Version 1.4.0_06 and 1.6
nVidia GeForce 7600 GT 256MB

Webstart?

Sorry, no webstart. It seemed to run very slow when I put it in a JAR.
