What is Blorkout?

Blorkout is a game based on the game Breakout or similar to Arkanoid. Simply break all the bricks (or break 4/5 of them and hit the level up brick) to advance to the next level. Whenever you drop a ball you lose some sheilds. In Blorkout, when your sheilds are depleted then it's game over. There are different types of bricks. The standard one hit to break bricks, metal bricks (takes 2 hits to break), indestructible bricks and TNT bricks, which blow up the surrounding bricks around them (except indestructible bricks and other TNT bricks). If you got a game over, you can continue from where you left off. If you quit the Blorkout game though you can't continue. There are also a variety of powerups:

Points powerup: adds 20 points to your score
Speedup powerup: speeds the current balls in play up
Speeddown powerup: slows the current balls in play down
Width powerup: Stretches your paddle out. Be careful not to stretch it too far though
Bomb powerup: Do you really want to hit a bomb?
Sheilds powerup: Increases your sheilds
Split powerup: Adds an extra ball in play

There is also a level editor included. Click on a brick in the toolbar to select it and then add them to the game area (bricks can only be placed above the red line). Make sure to specify the level number of the level. Once you've made the level just select save and your level will be created! If you make a level with a level number matching a level already existing, it will be overwritten.
