Brickfest

All I wanted was to have fun breaking bricks with crazy power ups but for some reason devs put dropping skulls that insta kill you and stupid power up thats speed up the ball. it would be nice if there was settings to lower difficulty. how can you even play when it drops a skull on your only ball. stupid

I love playing Blasterball 3, I think Brickfest is more challenging. Plus, unlike the former, I can play it on Linux. Plenty of levels with a level editor.

The game can end up being pretty challenging! Very entertaining, and definitely worth the price!

Brickfest is a ‘Breakout’ clone with some unique twists and fast-paced mechanics. [i]TL;DR at bottom[/i] [b]Gameplay:[/b] The gameplay in Brickfest is very, very similar to classic games like Breakout and Brick Breaker. The gameplay does not explore much farther than that. One feature that seems to be unique to this game is power-ups. There are 7 power-ups that will increase or decrease the size of your paddle, increase or decrease the speed of the ball, grant you a shield, summon another ball, or weaponize your paddle. The shield will allow a missed ball to bounce back for another chance, and the weaponize power-up allows you to shoot at bricks with your paddle, making it easier to hit some of the tougher bricks. Every one of these power-ups adds a new challenge or aid to the game, and makes it much more fun. When I first played the game for my video, there were only two gamemodes. There could have possibly been three at the time, and I may have missed one. The UI is extremely small, especially on higher resolutions, making it very hard to navigate and read. I went back to replay the game after a while to refresh my mind to write this review, and there was a new level set adde…

Took my about 30 minutes to finish all the levels. Was quite fun!

Plenty of levels and different power ups to keep the games interesting. The music and sound effects are great and remind me of the brick breaking games in arcades. Well worth the $5
