Smash things at hyperspeed in Drawkanoid, a re-imagining of the classic brick-breaking genre. Draw your paddle to bounce blindly fast balls exactly where you want them.

Last brick syndrome is dead!

A somewhat unique take on the Arkanoid formula that oozes potential for a campaign mode but settles with an arcade mode that tests the player in survival skills. It sums up its gameplay into 2 areas: the upper one with the block and the ball going super fast, and the lower one were the player can draw the paddle the ball is supposed to bounce on. While this doesn't sound like much, with proper creative boss fights and more upgrades than the given ones you could really make a worthwhile experience...

Not that this one isn't addictive though. Grinding for the unlockables can be fun within itself as each one can boost you up in the levels until you just can't deal with the speed or the bombarding particle effects. Nonetheless, it can make for a cool distraction or podcast game seeing as it has no soundtrack at all.

(game 4 of me going through this list by selecting games at random)

another itch game with a kinda novel concept but execution that just doesn't really work out. It's fun for about 5 minutes and then you realize you're just drawing lines. The ball moves too fast outside the draw area that strategizing doesn't really happen, and you only need a decent reaction time to juggle the ball easily. The powerups add a little bit, but the mediocre core is still the same.

Eu sempre achei Arkanoid meio chato e parado, mas as mudanças que fizeram aqui, com a bola indo super rápido e os power-ups, me fizeram realmente ficar animado até comprar tudo da loja.
