Arkanoid For Painters

The pitch

Arkanoid For Painters is a thrilling online game where players create barriers to control a ball, clearing blocks and foes. It blends classic gameplay with artistic elements, catering to creative strategists. Available on iOS, Android, and desktop, it guarantees entertaining challenges on the go.

Controls & how it runs

In this game you draw an obstacle for a ball instead of controlling a boring board. Also plenty of interesting upgrades are waiting for you. Draw with left mouse button or your finger.

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a portrait (upright) screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. This cabinet stands tall: it was built for portrait screens, so a phone held upright gives it the frame it wants — though it will squeeze politely into any window. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.
