Bob-Ball is a Breakout clone fangame made by Q-Nova. It's his first fangame to be submitted at MFGG, and is his entry for the Super Competition. Most of the graphics are custom and drawn from Q-Nova, along with one music track which is composed by Q-Nova (and it's also his first music track that he has composed).

Gameplay

As with most Breakout games, the player controls the paddle, which assits a Bob-Ball (which is a sub-species of the Bob-Ombs). The Bob-Ball can break brick blocks and bounce off the paddle. Once all the brick blocks are destroyed, a new set of brick blocks is generated. Unlike any other Breakout game, this game contains a timer. Once the timer reaches zero, the Bob-Ball explodes and the game ends. If the paddle misses the Bob-Ball, fifteen seconds of time is lost. Sometimes if the Bob-Ball breaks a brick block, a powerup is revealed which causes a temporary effect.

Powerups

• Mushroom - The paddle stretches, which makes it harder to miss the Bob-Ball
• 1-up Mushroom - Gives the Bob-Ball fifteen extra seconds of time
• Fire Flower - Engulfs the Bob-Ball in fire, which prevents the Bob-Ball from bouncing off brick blocks
• Ice Flower - Creates a ice bridge below the paddle, which saves Bob-Ball from falling
• Carrot - The Bob-Ball earns bunny ears, which makes the Bob-Ball fall slower
• Boomerang Flower - Two boomerangs are thrown from below, which destroys brick blocks that are in it's path

Reception

Bob-Ball received positive reviews in the main site. They praised the powerups and graphics, but they criticized the music. But all of the reviews gave it a score of seven out of ten, expect for SMBMM's, which gave it a score of three out of ten (as he heavily criticized the fact that it's a Breakout clone).
