  • Block Around, a 360° block breaker

Block Around is an evolution of the good old brick breakers, while keeping its arcade spirit. The paddle can move freely around the screen in every directions, but the ball can exit through any side of the screen.

(Trailer also available directly from the website below)

Break all the key blocks to open the warp gate to go to the next level. Each level adds a new kind of block or enemy. Taking risks will allow you to increase your score and obtain extra lives, but the ball will go faster and faster. The best scores are achieved by building long combo chains by deviating the ball.

The game is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS for free or name your own price.

Nice design, I'll give it a try =) One question : how does the player lose ??

You lose a ball when it reaches out of the screen. From any direction, not just the bottom like in regular block breakers.

Some levels are more opened than other. The image you see from the preview is from the main menu, which doesn't have any opening, but is not a playable level.
