Whackerball

good game worth the price decent amount of variety challenging at first but you'll get used to it don't expect any updates since the last one was in 2023 also screw the bow weapon

needs controller support. seems good but i cant play it.

Whackerball is like Downwell and Arkanoid fused with music that goes so incredibly hard that Whackerball becomes a full body experience. You are a paddle, keep the ball from falling, but you must avoid enemies. You can bounce the ball into enemies to harm them or EMPTY A CLIP into them point blank, provided you can account for the velocity that pushback will cause, so where do you need to be to bounce the ball back? Because hitting the ball with the paddle also reloads it. What a concept and it makes for a fantastic gameplay loop. The ever expanding selection of traits and paddle types brought the biggest smile to my face when I unlocked "SHOTGUN". I can't wait to see more of what Whackerball has to offer. This is the game that excels at everything it's doing.

A fun, clever game! Not even remotely a Roguelike, so whoever named that bundle should be ashamed. But that's neither here nor there.

this is the best arkanoid-remake i know and it´s a lot of fun

One thing would make this game pretty great - arrow keys for bullets. Mouse control for bullets feels horrendous imo in terms of game experience, it's higher control but feels like it removes the brick-breaker concept at a very fundamental level. Being able to have 2-axis shooting with arrow keys would reduce that control but, imo, make the gameplay expeirence and overall feel of the game improve tenfold. I won't play this again as it is, bring that change in and i'd probably play it for about 45 hours. This is why you have focus group testing!
