System requirements

The game should perform well even on low-end devices. It's very lean and does not take much storage space (Roughly 0.1MB). The web version is supposed to work on iOS safari, Firefox ESR and chrome, on desktop and mobile. If the app stutters, turn on "fast mode" in the settings to render a simplified view that should be faster. You can adjust many aspects of the game there, go have a look !

I pulled the background patterns from https://pattern.monster/ Colin (obigre) brought a lot of fantastic ideas to the game, here's his website (in French) : https://colin-crapahute.bearblog.dev/

ideas to sort

[colin]Brambles — coins that touch the walls and ceiling get stuck and are thrown back when the last brick is destroyed

[colin]Ball of Greed — the ball can collect coins

(might be worth dividing into levels: lvl 1, can collect coins only after two bounces on bricks or walls. lvl 2, can collect after 1 bounce. lvl 3, can collect coins anytime)(or change the ball collection radius as the level grows)

[colin]Phantom ball

the ball phases through 2 bricks then becomes solid (lvl2: through 6 bricks, lvl3; through all bricks until it touches a wall)

[colin]Cryptomoney — coins that should be generated by bricks are instantly collected, but count for half their value

[colin]Relative time — ball speed depends on its position: if it's high up on thi screen it's fast, if it's lower it's slower

ball attracted by bricks of the color of the ball

level flips horizontally every time a ball bounces on paddle

[colin] close quarters - balle attirée par tous les blocs/par un bloc aléatoire, actif à portée de bloc (+1bloc au lvlup)/proportionnel à une force (+puissance au lvlup)…

[colin] plusieurs perks qui déclenchent des effets quand une balle est perdue. par ex: +3 combo à chaque balle perdue, 5 blocs transformés en bombe, balle et coins ralentis, blocs régénérés…

[colin] faster style - augmente le combo en fonction de la vitesse de la balle

[colin] perk: roulette - gagne instantanément 2 perks aléatoires

flip perk

Probably not

wind : move coins based on paddle movement not position

double coin value when they hit the sides

[colin] Perk: second paddle in the middle of the screen

[colin] side paddles - same as above but with two side paddles : hard to know where to put them

accelerometer controls coins and balls

auto-detect device performance at first startup and adjust settings accordingly (hard to do in any sort of useful way)

coins avoid ball of different color (pointless)

[colin] wormhole - the paddle sometimes don't bounce the ball back up but teleports it to the top of the screen as if it fell through from bottom to top. higher levels reduce the times it takes to reload that effect (not sure how that to word that in 1 setence)

[colin] Mental charge - the paddle is divided into two smaller paddles, then 3 smaller ones at lvl 2 : what's the point ?

[colin] sturdy ball - does more damage to bricks, to conter sturdy bricks :that's pierce now

[colin] plot - plot the ball's trajectory as you position your paddle : too hard when you add other perks

[colin] piggy bank - bricks absorb coins that fall onto it, and release them back as they are broken, with added value : equivalent to Asceticism

[colin] ball coins - coins share the same physics as coins and bounce on walls and bricks : really hard to balance with speeds and all

non brick-shaped bricks, tilted bricks,moving blocks : very difficult because of engine optimisations

3 random perks immediately, or maybe "all level get twice as many upgrades, but they are applied randomly, and you aren't told which ones you have."

coins repulse coins, could get really laggy ?

russian roulette: 5/6 chances to get a free upgrade, 1/6 chance of game over. Not really fun

[colin] bigger ball - self-explanatory, or is it ? what's the point ? physics would break now if ball bigger than bricks

[colin] smaller ball - doable, but why

[colin] earthquake - when the paddle hits any side of the screen with velocity, the screen shakes and a brick explodes/falls from the level. alternatively, any brick you catch with the paddle gives you the coins at the current combo rate. each level lowers the amount of hits before a brick falls. Problem : no limit on how often you can slam the paddle around

missile goes when you catch coin

missile goes when you break a brick

[colin] Batteries - lvl1: recharge les pouvoirs du paddle quand la balle touche le haut de l'écran (1 fois par lancer, se recharge en touchant le paddle). lvl2: également après voir détruit 6 blocs. lvl3: également quand elle touche les bords de l'écran : i'll probably just let the second paddle replace this

store much more details about run (level by level) as numbers only (instead of json that gets big false)

[colin] hitman - hit the marked brick for +5 combo. each level increases the combo you get for it.

[colin] sweet spot - place your paddle directly below a moving spot at the top of the level to increase your combo

[colin] reward the player with more choices/perks for breaking a brick while having reached an increasing combo thresholds. 5 combo, then 10, then 20, then 40 etc… once a threshold is reached you aren't rewarded for that threshold again until you start a rew run

mobile option: relative movement of the touch would be amplified and added to the paddle

mobile option: don't pause on mobile when lifting finger

translate fastlane presentation texts to french

convert captures to mp4 unsing ffmpeg wasm because reddit refuses webm files

disable zooming (for ios double tap)

Waterline under the paddle, coins slow down a lot, reflections

webgl rendering: background gradient light map, shinier coins, quite hard

on mobile, add an element that feels like it can be "grabbed" and make it shine while writing "Push here to play"

hard mode : bricks take many hits, perks more rare, missing clears level score, missing coins deducts score..

architect mode :

• play 7 levels, each with a different build.
  • Perk levels can only be used once, so if you take one for level 1, you won't have it to level 2-7.
  • Your final score is your worst score times your best score
  • You'll see the levels in advance

stats by lack of perk, like "best score without using hot start".

split screen multiplayer

Add color schemes into the game (ex : Catppuccin, Dracula, Terminal, etc)

final bosses (large vertical level that scrolls down faster and faster)

add loop run where user levels can't be used in further loops (boring)

add lab mode where you need to make three builds (complex, lots of clicking, not fun)

UX / gameplay / Engine

other block types

bumper (speed up ball) [colin] metal (can't break) [nicolas] bubble : pops and ball goes through

leaderboard for not using each perk, like "best runs without hot start"

controller support on web/mobile

Offline mode web for iphone

handle back bouton in menu

save state in localstorage for easy resume of a game in progress

add a clickable button to allow sound to play in chrome android

explain to iOS users how to add the app to home screen to get fullscreen

experiment with showing the combo somewhere else, maybe top center, maybe instead of score.

display a multiplicator if it's not 100%, have some perks add to it

extra levels

Good games

• FTL
• Nova drift
• Noita
• Enter the gungeon
• Zero Sivert
• Factorio
• Swarm
• Nuclear throne
• Brigador

letters and an associated word or name

famous characters and movies

famous places : eiffel tower, taj mahal, etc..

fruits

animals

countries flags and shapes

Medium perks

[colin] Sponge Ball : the ball stores coins it collides with, and releases them when bouncing on any border (left, right, top).

coins combine when they hit (into one coin with the sum of the values, but need a way to represent that)

balls collision split them into 4 smaller balls, lvl times (requires rework)

offer next level choice after upgrade pick

[colin] mirror paddle - a mirrored paddle at the top of the screen follows as you move the bottom paddle. it helps with keeping combos up and preventing the ball from touching the ceiling. it could appear as a hollow paddle so as to not draw too much attention from the main bottom paddle.

[colin] Combos extrêmes: lvl2 pour tous les combos, qui fait que le combo rapporte double ou triple, mais si sur un niveau la condition n'est pas respectée alors le perk ne donne plus de combo bonus pour ce niveau.

[colin] Mytosis - les blocs bombe n'explosent pas mais relâchent une nouvelle balle à la place (clashes with "shocks" and "sapper")

[colin] Juggle - au début du niveau, chaque balle est lancée l'une après au lieu de toutes à la fois (needs some work)

SUPER HOT (time moves when paddle moves)

bricks attract ball

bricks attract coins

wrap left / right

correction : pick one past upgrade to remove and replace by something else

+1 combo when ball goes downward, reset if upward

2x speed after bouncing on paddle

the more balls are close to a brick, the more combo is gained when breaking it. If only one ball, loose one point or reset

ball avoids brick of wrong color

paddle slowly follows desired position, but +1 combo

knockback : hitting a brick pushes it (requires sturdy bricks)

Easy perks

Only coins of the color of the ball will count

Coins spawn in the ball's color, not brick color

inverse coins velocity at spawn

when the ball teleport, probability that it's duplicated instead

combo resets on teleport

combo resets when hitting paddle without a teleport

teleport ball to paddle as soon as it hits something (% chance)

allow dropping balls that are about to miss.

square coins : coins loose all horizontal momentum when hitting something.

ball turns following paddle motion

"+1 coin for each ball within a small radius of the broken brick" ?

two for one : add a 2 for one upgrade combo to the choice lists

cash out : double last level's gains

snowball : Combo resets every 0.1s . +1 combo for each combo gained Since last reset.

Chain reaction : +lvl*lvl combo per brick broken by an explosion, combo resets after explosion is over

catching a coin changes the color of the balls

coins stained by balls

fast pause : pause delay divided by {{lvl}} (helps with teleport)

[colin] Capital - les vies non perdues à la fin du niveau rapportent un bonus de points

ban 3 random perks from pool, gain 2 upgrades

faster coins, double value

balls repulse coins

n% of coins missed respawn at the ball

+1 combo per brick broken after a wall bounce, reset otherwise

combo climbs by 1 every 2 second, unless no coin was caught, then it resets

[colin] golden corners - catch coins at the sides of the paddle to double their value

[colin] varied diet - your combo grows by 2 when your ball changes color, but decreses by one when a brick is broken ?

[colin] trickle up - inverse of reach more or less

+lvl combo per bricks / resets after 5/lvl seconds without explosion ?

+lvl combo per bricks / resets after 5/lvl seconds without coin catch ?

+lvl combo per bricks / resets after 5/lvl seconds without ball color change ?

+lvl combo per bricks / resets after 5/lvl seconds without sides hit ?

+ lvl x n combo when destroying a brick after bouncing on a side/top n times ?

make stats a clairvoyant thing

[colin]P ocket money — bricks absorb coins that touch them, which are released on brick destruction (with a bonus?)

[colin] turn ball gravity on after a top bar hit, and until bouncing on paddle

fan : paddle motion creates upward draft that lifts coins and balls

+10% coins per reroll stored.

redo video

review fastlane text

tried and cancelled native desktop app build with tauri because :

• there's no cross compilation, so no exe build on linux
  • you need to sign executable differently for each platform
  • the .deb and .rmp files were 3.8M for a 0.1M app
  • the appimage was crazy big (100M)
  • I'd need a mac to make a mac version that probably wouldn't run without doing the app store dance with apple

29062687

tried and cancelled webgl rendering

• it's a lot of code
  • i'm not great at it
  • it requires a significant rewrite
  • for most things, no perf difference
  • the main goal of having more colorful backgrounds can be achieved by running the lights layer at lower res

"Miss warning" option is now on by default (ball's particles are red if catching it would be a "miss")

"Show +X in gold" option is now on by default (show a +X when combo increases)

"High contrast" option added, off by default (applies lights layer again as "soft light" at the end of the render)

"Colorful coins" option now applied at render time instead of coin spawn time, to make preview easier

when settings are opened on pc, they show up on the side and the overlay is transparent to let you preview the changes

29062545

Perks list now only lists upgrades that have been picked, or have banned levels

After clearing a level, that level is dimmed in the clairvoyant level list [Bearded-Axe]

limited clairvoyant to level one outside looped runs [obigre]

yoyo now has more effect when the ball is at the top of the screen [obigre]

telekinesis now has more effect when the ball is at the bottom of the screen

"Top is lava" combo lost text is now spawned a bit lower to be more visible [obigre]
