Brick Breaker Deluxe: Pacman Review
By death on 13 August 2009


Pros: Sound

Cons: Interface/Gameplay

To difficult?

Intro: Contrary to what i said earlier, i couldn't play the whole game. In the first level i couldn't hit the last brick even after ten minutes of gameplay. This made me lose interest.

Graphics: The graphics fit the game and the "theme" idea is great. However the graphics were considerably low compared to modern days re-makes of this game. Some of the graphics confused me, the theme idea placed walls similar to pacman but didn't count in the actually game. At first i thought the ball would bounce off the walls but they didn't. Other than the untouchable walls, the bricks and paddle looked okay.

Sound: The background music was entertaining. The sounds were a little quiet but that's not really too important.

Gameplay: The gameplay was slow paced. It made the game a bit boring to say the least. The brick lay-out also made it very difficult as you would often spend a lot of time attempting to hit one brick. The ball bounced a little too precise and because of this some bricks were even near impossible to hit. This also caused the ball to get stuck often.

Story: No story to the game.

Interface: The general programming of the game left me thinking "is this really the completed version?" The title of "good programmer" only goes to those who spend the time to fix even the smallest bug. However this game was filled with them.

Advice: For starters, make the ball a lot faster. The bouncing shouldn't be so precise, have it bounce in random directions instead of constantly bouncing in the same spot over and over again. Change the layout so that the bricks aren't so hard to hit. A small upgrade in graphics couldn't hurt (e.g the confusing wall layout).

Overall: I found this game to be distasteful and dull. Also unprofessional. I say that because it was made clear to me that the programmer didn't bother to fix most of the bugs and didn't take his/her time. The game is boring and difficult but it has potential. I recommend working a little more or it then updating it to a new version.

Personal note: Sorry for the negative review, it's nothing personal i just wrote what i thought about it.
