Mandrixx: I haven’t fully translated Arcazoid to English yet, so this post is a bit to early :-\ I’ll do that asap. In the meanwhile it might be handy to know that if you want to play: check the checkbox and click “Ga Verder”.

It works in (almost all) webbrowsers except Opera. It needs the parameters generated on the webpage AND the php session so that probably explains why it doesnt work from the applet viewer…

Works fine here. Nicely implemented arkanoid. Pretty looking and comfortable-ish to play.

  • Music got a bit annoying
  • Played until level 5 before I got bored - its a bit slow paced
  • I’ve played alot of arkanoid, but I had trouble predicting where the ball would bounce and in which direction it would launch from the bat - didn’t seem to be a consistent pattern.
  • Ball got stuck once for a couple of minutes, it just sat there in a pattern bouncing round. I couldn’t touch it - most annoying.

Nice though, good work. I particularly like the ball explosions when you get loads of balls all over the shop. Cool! :slight_smile:

Nice!

Also think the bounce off the bat needs some work. On level 2 I got the ball stuck in a motion bouncing near the bottom wall on the left side and against the unbreakable brick on the right side, no matter what I did with the paddle the ball was stuck in the same motion… tried hitting it at different positions of the bat (It was pretty close to the wall so I couldn’t use much of the bat), also tried spinning it by pulling the bat at the moment of impact, but it bounced the same all the time… had to drop it eventually…

Nice game. I had some problems with the bouncing, too.
I like the features that can be caught, the Earthquake, the “crazy” ball, etc.

English language would be nice. (I’m from Germany so I could get the meaning of most sentences but English would be far better :wink: )

Thanks for the feedback guys!

So I guess we’ll need to focus on the ball bouncing / loop problem :slight_smile:

I’ll implement an ingame option to disable music & sfx. This is already possible for the other webgames featured on the site (from the menu right to the applets), but this doesnt work well for applets that run in their own applet window indeed.
