Block Breaker
A downloadable student game
This is the result of my first update to the block breaker portion of the Udemy course I have been going through. The modifications included in this update are primarily for better useability/playability in the sense of function. Another update is intended to add some things to enhance the enjoyment of the game.

Hey, I tried your game. Good stuff. I played on a Surface Book 2 in tablet mode. When the game ends, the ball appears on top of the paddle for a brief moment. I tried the tablet in the portrait orientation too. The ball would go off screen and I couldn't reach it 😂. On the upside, no advertisements. Very straightforward.
Thank you for trying one of my practice games. I greatly appreciate the feedback, but I imagine that I won't be updating this particular game as I will no longer be using Unity on principle. As for having no ads: If I ever do have ads on my games, they will a) only ever be optional, b) never be abusive or coercive.
Again, though, thank you so much for checking my game out.
Below is the current roadmap of this Block Breaker game (last update: 20200926). Keep in mind that this roadmap is highly susceptible to changes based on comments, feasibility, and other on-going projects.
