About Things That Bounce and Explode

"THIS IS LIKE BREAKOUT MEETS DESTINY" -a friend after a couple of beers

In Things That Bounce and Explode, you control P.A.D.D.L.E., who can both shoot and bounce B.A.L.L.s to defend planets against the mean-spirited galactic conquerors know as the Blokolonian Armada. But don't fret, as P.A.D.D.L.E. has numerous special B.A.L.L.s to aid, which can be upgraded and gain extra abilities; plus there are powerful Powers and charming Charms you can equip to give you an edge against those blindsiding Blokolonians.

How many B.A.L.L.s can you handle? The fate of the galaxy is on your hands!
  • Face against ever-changing waves of nasty enemies; randomized enemy placement ensures no two runs are ever the same!
  • Fearsome bosses will test your skills and nerves at the end of every run.
  • Level up and customize your B.A.L.L.s with new skills, and invent devious builds to annihilate your foes.
  • Hidden Powers allow you to change the game with powerful effects, and Charms grant passive abilities granting even more customization for your builds.
  • Extra Difficulties and Enemy Anomalies add variety and replayability for the late game.
  • Save planets and read their stories at the Planetarium.
  • Tons of customization options, including the exclusive Podcast Mode™ for multitasking players.
  • Secret and mysteries await the most dedicated of players...
  • And the game does not end here; expect much more content in the next months!

[b]Things That Bounce and Explode[/b] is a fun twist on brick-breakers in which you create your own balls and have to juggle them between moving enemies in order to destroy them. What makes it good is that it's not [i]just[/i] a fun twist, it's a whole game with frantic action, arcade-y progression systems and really innovative ideas. Some levels might task you with avoiding spiky walls, while some others will add some obstacles such as flippers. It's nothing too crazy, but when you get in the middle of the action, juggling more than five balls while trying to active special abilities and avoiding enemies, [b]Things That Bounce and Explode[/b] can be pretty fun. It's a new, creative twist on a genre that's too rigid for its own good and sometimes, it's exactly the kind of niche game that you need. I absolutely recommend buying it and giving it a try!

If you're a fan of arcade shooters and looking for a new experience, check out @LNDFRR's Things that Bounce and Explode. Every time I thought the game had peaked, something new would unlock. Good times. A solid addition to the arcade shooter genre featuring innovations on oldschool pong mechanics and upgrades galore. At first glance it may not look like much but there's a lot going on under the hood. For more niche curation, follow me at: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/27440015-CSH-Picone/

I'll now take into account some some titles of this genre that I have accurately selected. After "Breakquest"(in custom arcade mode 9/10) and "Ionball:Ion Storm"(7.2/10),this is for me the third best brick breaker game. Instead,I gave "Breakout Recharged" a 5/10,and to "Hot Pink" a desolating 1/10, despite its captivating and energetic electrodance musical theme. Instead,regarding this game: shame about its short duration,the vertical resolution that takes up only a fraction of the monitor, the same music theme in each(clone)level, almost identical visual assets (only their color changes) but it's pretty and cozy 6.8/10

its Casual Games. however, I bought the game to unlock the character by passing the level? ? ? I like to waste time? ? ? It's a devil developer, I play games to make myself happy, unlocking characters is like working in a company, i had a weekend of leisure to play games at home, as a result, I had to do game tasks to unlock characters, What's the difference between me and a mentally ill person? ? ? devil developer, work overtime maker!

This game is awesome!! Once you start to play, it's hard to stop playing it! Lots of power ups, upgrades, random stages, everything that guarantees a high replayabilty. As a fan of both brick breaker and shmup genres, I absolutely LOVE this game and 100% recommend it!
