Caromble! is a brick breaking game inspired by classic titles such as Breakout and Arkanoid. You control a flat, horizontal paddle and bounce a metal ball around the playfield, breaking bricks, causing explosions, and transforming the map. The game takes place in an industrial, apocalyptic setting where you battle the forces of chaos.
Break bricks and fight aliens in the latest on the short list of brick-break games, Caromble! Simple to learn, difficult to master. Bounce curve balls with precise movements and charge up for power shots by knowing when to charge and when to move. Take a look at the game in its Early Access form to see if this is one you want to try.
GB: "During our Computer Science study we started to build a 3D game engine in our spare time. Along the way we created some game prototypes. Of course, with us being new game design enthusiasts, our first game ideas were far too complex ( we even did some Motion Capture!) and with a group of only technical people most prototypes didn’t look very appealing. Luckily, at the Global Game Jam in 2009 we met our experienced graphics artist."
Gotta love breaking bricks.
Well, I did enjoy Breakout and Arkanoid as a kid. So I might give this one a go.
