Space Breakers!
Space Breakers!
Space Breakers! is a quirky, retro brick-breaker and intergalactic adventure created in Unity. Tippy, the adorable captain's planet has been completely depleted of its natural resources. You have been given the very special mission of traveling to new and beautiful planets to collect resources. If enough are collected, your ship will have enough fuel to access the secret planet! Help Tippy, by guiding his ship through the traitorous terrain! Tippy's species is counting on you!
​
Space Breakers was created to emulate a classic brickbreaker playstyle. The collection of resources and power-ups adds another level of challenge to the fun and familiar brick breaker experience. This game has several powerups: paddle stretch, speed up, life up, and the resource. There are also multiple brick types in this game: a moving brick, an unbreakable brick, a falling obstacle brick, a double hit, and a one hit brick. The physics of the ball bouncing as well as the speed up powerup utilize Unity's 2D physics engine.

Space Breakers is currently available to play on itch.io in browser (no download required!). Feel free to leave me a comment and tell me what you think. :)
Design
I designed my own set of mock 8-bit sprites to evoke cuteness and outer-space vibes, reminiscent of iconic 80s arcade classics like Galaga and Space Invaders. To truly capture the essence of arcade gaming from that era, I encased the screen with a border, giving players the feeling of peering into a real arcade machine.
