Rebound

Rebound is inspired by an old game named Titan which appeared on 8-bit computers and the PC Engine (remember that!?) nearly 30 years ago. The concept is very simple : you move a bat around the level and deflect a ball into destructible blocks.

To make things more interesting there are various special blocks dotted around the level and they have various properties for the player to discover.

I've had no end of trouble getting the collision detection to work properly with this. Lots of stuff going through walls and such but it seems fairly stable now, if a bit juddery in places.

I'm presently targeting browser for this game but might stretch to native builds if I'm pleased enough with the finished game.
