This is brilliant and harrowing at the same time. “What’s wrong with Breakout? It’s the boring parts where you’re waiting for the ball to come back to the paddle! Let’s just cut that part out, every time, so the ball is always about to reach the line with the paddle on it!” Then the penalty for missing is the wait, and levels are timed so that actually costs you. It’s still annoying to get those last bricks, but this cuts down on a lot of the frustrations I have about Breakout.
