I just finished up a project that I started a few years ago but never got around to completing. It's called Skyhigh Breakout and basically adds a platforming element to the basic game of breakout. Instead of just moving across the screen, the bat has to jump on platforms. This makes for a much more challenging, fast-paced and less monotonous game.

one big minus to game
no matter where ball hit bat its still have same bouncing radius.

try to do this
under D&D
in ball collision event with bat
move free - object self
direction: 90+object_ball.x-x
speed: speed

This is the way most breakout-style games let the user control the ball, but I used a different method in this game, where the horizontal speed of the ball is determined by the speed of the bat. I find this gives the user more control over the ball and that it has a more natural feel to it. However if too many people prefer the standard method I can always change it, of course.

Anyway, thanks for the criticism! Opinions are greatly appreciated.
