Download the Public Release 1 Open Beta 2 here.Information
Break-Less 2 is a freeware game developed by me. It's not currently done, but it's getting close to being done.
It's a brick breaker style game involving a ball, paddle, and bricks. You move the paddle left and right, and try to get the ball to bounce off of it. The ball then goes upwards and tries to hit bricks. Simple concept, really; once you start playing, you get the hang of it pretty quickly.
This game, however, is endless. By that, I mean you
never change levels, unlike nearly all other games of this style. In this game, the bricks jump to a random position on the screen. Bonuses (some good, some bad) fall from the bricks to be caught by the paddle. Brick randomizers, brick creators, bonus points, stuff like this fall from the bricks.
Break-Less 2 does not use a life system, rather, it uses a health system, with a little bit of a barrier system (
Arkanoid Live! on the XBOX Live Arcade is a good example) mixed in. Hitting the red bar/void/barrier on the bottom of the screen takes away health (15 to be exact) from the player. Hitting 0 health is a game over.
