Darkanoid

Really good game inspired from the legendary "Arkanoid" !!!

Talk about knocking out of the park with your first Steam game for the developer!! WOW!! Darkanoid is a very well coded and oozing with quality outer space brick breaker with furious arcade action and two very different game modes to test your reflexes and challenge your hand-eye coordination! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvwy6c7JrTo I've easily played over a hundred brick breaker games in my life, and this is easily one of the five best of all time for me! That's no small feat, but this game delivers! 9.5 out of 10 is my score! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED with my Zaxtors Indie Gold Award! ..Well done to the developer(s) of this indie gem!

There are few games that I can play for less then an hour and immediately come to the comment section to say 'this is worth recommending to others'. Darkanoid is definitely a game to consider playing if you were a fan of Arkanoid back in the day and are looking to get back into breaking bricks. I won't say the game is perfect though, the game is played from a 'side' perspective where you will bounce the ball towards the bricks from the right of the screen to the left (as opposed to bottom to top like many Breakout style games). There is an option to change the display for the game but it 'literally' just flips the view for the game 90 degrees when you open it up (meaning unless you physically turn your monitor 90 degrees with it, it really doesn't do you any good unless you like playing your game laying down or with your head ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to the left). Nevertheless, the game can play fine with its default settings and if the developer does the vertical orientation properly, it will appeal to any old player of games in the Breakout genre.

I mean , its not a good game, but it was cheap (I paid 50 cents ) and for that price its ok . Had fun even with its flaws

I completely forgot about playing this game as a kid so this was a great nostalgia moment for me! The creators did a really good job with the graphics and adding in layers of difficulty. I only made it to the third level but had a good time doing it!

Lovely smooth game, very enjoyable throwback :) Starts out fairly calm and adds a lot of cool extra mechanics and power-ups as you go. Challenging levels, and has a currency you can gather for later unlocks, that you can instead spend to get one more life. honestly a perfect 10/10 for what it is. Cons I found were minor; 1. Controller support not great - sensitivity slider only works for mouse. Mouse not at all strenuous to use in this game anyway if you have wrist trouble, very little input required. 2. Menu option to rotate game orientation from horizontal to vertical was busted, only rotates menus, not gameplay, which in turn muddles the controls ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
