I build stuff. Some of it isn't terrible.
Confine
About Confine
Keep the ball confined within the game's walls to score points in this Breakout and pinball-inspired timing game. The game features a tacky, campy 80's theme that might have been inspired by my admiration of Stranger Things.
To keep this from becoming a Ketchapp clone and make gameplay a little more interesting, power-ups regularly spawn, changing up gameplay with score multipliers, extra lives, speed boosts, and multi-balls. Watch out for obstacles that might pop up, as they have a tendency to knock the ball directly back to your gate.
Confine is 100% free: there is no cost to purchase, no in-app purchases, no ads, no data collection.
How to Play
Tap the screen to close the gate near the bottom of the screen and keep the ball confined within the walls. You can influence the angle of departure by the timing of your gate close. The game is over when the ball escapes the walls, provided there are no active power-ups.
After each gate closure, a timeout is enforced, so rapid-fire closings aren't possible. The gate only stays closed for a very short period, so time the closing carefully. Power-ups frequently appear at the top of the screen to change up the gameplay. These power-ups are stacked, rather than replaced, so more than one power-up can be in effect at a time.
Power-ups:
- Extra Life: grants you an extra life. When the ball escapes, another is spawned, and the game continues.
- Score multiplier: doubles the current score multiple.
- Speed boost: makes the ball move faster.
- Speed penalty: makes the ball move slower.
- Multi-ball: spawns an extra ball that inherits any multipliers or power-ups in effect.
Availability
Confine was built with Construct 2, HTML5, Adobe PhoneGap, and Adobe Photoshop. Confine was built using a now deprecated library and will be removed from app stores at the end of 2021.
And this battle shall be the delicious mustard on that bread! The mustard of your doom!
