Brick Breaker Question:
What Happens
to the Ball?
THE GAME: I am sure that most people have played the game called “Brick Breaker”. The player has a ball on a little platform and he/she breaks the bricks trying to catch the ball after it returns on the platform’s line. When the player loses the ball, the game ends and if there are more lives the player can continue his/her game with a new ball. I chose this game because I have it on my new mobile phone
and it made me remember the time I used to play it as a child. Wondering what happens to the ball inspired me to make this project. Also, I thought of other games like “Angry Birds” but I decided to focus on the “Brick Breaker” because of its retro and classic character.
THE BALL: What happens to the ball and where does it go after the gamer loses it? If we give a real life to the ball, how does it feel? And also, is the new
ball a new one, or, it is the previous ball which was dead and now it’s alive again in a new life? The idea of my project, is the creation of different environments which are presented in several posters to see what happens to the ball after the gamer loses.
