BrickSpace is essentially a 3 Dimensional Zero G Brick Smashing Game, primarily played with the mouse that can move the 'paddle' in 4 directions and point of view from behind the paddle. The bricks you break are off in the distance. You score points when the ball hits the bricks. Press the left mouse button to activte a hit knocks the paddle forward, if it hits a ball, it will move down faster. Hold Right Mouse Button to tilt the paddle that can deflect the ball in different dirrections. When all the bricks are cleared, you go to the next level. The Unity 3D version I made has 32 levels with different shapes and bricks laid out in different configurations. Some levels have shifting and rotating sections. Please review video to get a sense of the game play. Brickspace maintains a local 10 highscore list of the current run. The game can be played with the Joystick or keyboard. Keyboard, the cursor keys move the paddle, CTRL does same function as left mouse button, shift does same as right mouse button. Joystick control is very straight forward. Since there are different joysticks and game pads on the market, fire buttons may be in different locations, however, buttons 1 and 2 do the same function as the left and right mouse button. BrickSpace also sends random power ups towards your paddle after smashing bricks. Their functions are as follows: B Big Ball, the next ball touches your paddle will enlarge. C Crazy Ball, next ball touching the Paddle will randomly change direction D Double. Next Ball the touches will become two. F Fast Ball for 30 Seconds. Balls are accelerated after hitting the paddle, but restore to normal speed when smashing a birick. G Guided Ball for 30 Seconds. Balls moving away the paddle can be shifted with the paddle movement. H Hold Ball for 30 Seconds. Balls will stick to the paddle until the fire/mouse button is pressed, and balls move straight away from the paddle. J Jolt.
