Doughlings: Arcade

As the description says, it's a game based on Arkanoid that takes about 10 hours to 100%.

From the very beginning, the game establishes a cheerful tone, combining lighthearted storytelling with fast, responsive arcade action that feels welcoming to newcomers while still offering depth for dedicated players. The fundamental gameplay loop is easy to grasp and satisfying to execute. You control a paddle at the bottom of the screen, directing a ball upward to hit and “cure” infected Doughlings. Each Doughling type behaves slightly differently, requiring multiple hits or specific approaches, which adds variety and keeps levels from feeling interchangeable. Power-ups frequently drop during play, temporarily enhancing your paddle, changing the ball’s be…
