Reactor Breaker is a fast, arcade-style brick breaker game built for the web. The player controls an energy rail at the bottom of a reactor chamber and launches a plasma core upward to clear unstable reactor blocks before the field collapses.
The game combines familiar brick breaker mechanics with a sci-fi reactor theme. Players aim and launch the plasma core, move the rail to keep it in play, break blocks with different durability levels, and manage temporary drops that can help or complicate a run.
Reactor Breaker includes sector progression, saved campaign progress, score tracking, rail lives, paddle health, pause and hold, reboot, game over, and restart flows. It is designed as a polished static web game, with responsive canvas rendering for desktop, mobile, and short-wide distributor layouts.
Key Features
- Responsive full-screen canvas gameplay for desktop, phone, and embedded distributor viewports.
- Mouse, touch, and keyboard controls for aiming, launching, rail movement, hold, and reboot.
- Multiple brick layouts across the campaign, including carefully balanced early levels.
- Color-coded bricks based on hit durability.
- Slow, medium, and fast spinning bricks with rotating hit areas.
- Drops and power effects with visual icons and help descriptions.
- Additive timed effects that extend duration when another matching drop is collected.
- Timers count down only while the ball is active.
- Wavy live shield walls and top boundary with slight bounce variation.
- Instruction overlay covering campaign, overdrive, controls, drops, and shield behavior.
- Static-site deployment with no backend dependency.
- Local progress persistence through browser storage.
- Web-friendly audio behavior with user-initiated audio and mute handling on blur or visibility changes.
Reactor Breaker is intended to feel immediately understandable while adding enough variation through drops, spinning hazards, wave bounces, and sector layouts to make repeated play more interesting than a basic brick breaker clone. The project is currently prepared as a static web game for straightforward public-link deployment and distributor evaluation.
