Last week, you threw the ball.
This week, you bounce the ball.
It's almost like a theme, or something!!

I started this game with the mindset of recreating my original plan with Centipong.
Way way back when I first created Centipong, I envisaged a bunch of levels, each based upon classic arcade games. Centipedes, Invaders, Meteors and more, would each have their own level.
After I created Level One, Centipedes, I had a GREAT amount of fun, simply playing with all the bouncing Pods, and that's pretty much exactly how the game stayed. Through 3 separate editions, it's still exactly what it was.
This time around, I opted to throw in a few other bits and pieces early on, so there are Breakout Bricks, Asteroids and Invaders.
.. Unfortunately there's nothing more than that. I ran out of momentum, and spent far too much time fiddling about with other unrelated stuff! Ooops! Sidetracked!

If this is popular, I'll give it an extra tweak, and try to come up with all kinds of extras, but for now it's onto the next game. Whatever that'll be!

Be aware that the mouse/touch controls aren't quite perfect. They're ok, but they require "Tap the bottom bar" to launch the ball, and that's a bit quirky once the game gets going..
The game's much better played with keyboard/controller.

You can Download BounceABall here for Windows, play it in HTML5 inside your browser, or in a few hours (Review dependant) you'll be able to grab it on your OUYA, too.
