SUPER BRICKBREAK - Online Edition

NOTE: For this game's WebAssembly counterpart, check out this repository.

Fast-paced breakout clone featuring 20+ levels - online version.

This game is a direct port of its C++ counterpart (found in my MiniGames repo), and part of a collection of mini-games I made in the past. This game was originally written in Processing (Java), then ported to C++ (OficinaFramework/OpenGL), and now completely ported to JavaScript, using a 2D canvas element. While rather simple, this is a very complete game that isn't easy nor hard; it has a score system (complete with local storage of highscore), chain bonus multipliers, and bonus points for some actions.

Please don't be a douche; do not deliberately steal this. You can use the code as reference for your own games, as long as you respect the license. This game uses GohuFont by Hugo Chargois, ported to TTF by Guilherme Maeda.
