Paddle Pals! A mix between platforming and Breakout

[Darkonius Mavakar]

Hello everyone, this is Paddle Pals, a Breakout + Platformer game!

This was submitted to Ludum Dare 41, the theme was "Combine two incompatible genres" so my friend Mors and I decided to make this;

You can play it here!

"Break bricks, solve puzzles, push blocks, hit switches and go through 12 levels that combine tight platforming level design with classic breakout action!

This game was made by Mors and Darkonius Mavakar for the 41th Ludum Dare in 72 hours. Big thanks to CosmicGem for the music and sound effects!"

And here is a gif to show you the game:



I hope you'll like it!

The game has been updated to version 1.3.1, now you can also download the game instead of playing it off a browser, enjoy!

Oh boy, does the game required to be extracted with WinZip to even play it?
P.S. I'll give this a try once i get a new laptop! ^^

Surprisingly enough I think that combining a platformer with a breakout style game works out surprisingly well, because usually in breakout, the game just feels massively slowed down when you're trying to hit the last brick but changing forms looks like it speeds up things.
