Arkaless

Arkaless is a modern, streamlined homage to the golden age of arcade brick-breaker games. You control a paddle at the bottom of the screen and launch a ball to shatter colorful blocks. Each block has durability—hit it multiple times to clear it—and changes its appearance as it weakens. Once all blocks are gone, you advance to the next round: every level grows tougher, with new patterns and higher total block strength.

Key highlights:

• Variable block durability: Blocks cycle through sprites as they take hits.

• 15 procedural level patterns: From clean borders and checkerboards to staircases, diagonals, crosses, and random layouts—each stage feels fresh.

• Difficulty scaling: Total block-strength increases each round, ensuring a steady challenge curve.

• Responsive paddle physics: Bounce angle depends on where you hit—tap left, center, or right for precise control; center hits get a slight random nudge to keep things moving.

• Original SFX + Retro-style BGM: Authentic Arkanoid sound effects pair with a looping chiptune soundtrack.

• WebGL build: Play instantly in your browser on desktop or mobile; touch and click controls supported.

Experience 15+ levels of escalating arcade action—no clutter, just pure brick-breaking fun.

Features

• Procedural Levels: 8 distinct tile-patterns (Random, Border, StairUp/Down, Checkerboard, SolidSquare, Cross, Diagonal) with guaranteed minimum block count.

• Durability Sprites: Each hit downgrades a block’s sprite until it disappears.

• Difficulty Curve: Sum of all block durabilities increases every level.

• Smart Bounce: Control ball angle via impact point; center hits get a tiny random offset to avoid vertical loops.

• Pooling-based Performance: Block object-pooling for seamless, lag-free level loads.

• Mobile & Desktop Controls

  • Desktop: ← / → or A / D to move paddle

  • Mobile/Touch: Tap left/right side of screen or drag paddle
