Breakout style game WIP - Update!

So it's been a few days and...I finally made a breakthrough!
Call it divine inspiration, I figured out how I wanted it to look then that got my creative juices going...It turned out I have gone with a more simple art style while still looking nice. I still have much work to do but now we have something that actually looks like a game now!

That behind said I have done other things besides some cosmetic triumphs. I learned how to make the ball stay on the "bar" until you want to let it bounce and go back after you "die"; as well as you can move the bar in any direction but it can't move beyond blocks that are in it's way. - I also have started adding sounds, and saving some songs that I took a liking to from Jason Shaw's music on audionautix.com for the music in the game. This will be one game that the menus will come last along with the splash screen. I need a logo and I don't have a name for this game yet so I can't do anything until then when it comes to an identity.. Much to do much to do!

I need to make an organized points system, enemies and power-ups...as well as so much more! But I am well on my way now that my main hurdle so far has been resolved.

I hope you're looking as foward to this project as I am! I'm having fun! :D

Game WIP - Breakout Style Game:

I'm working on a new game...just a small project to give me something of a distraction...so yep yep anyways...

I'm working on a game based off of breakout  only I'm trying to not go simple on the art style of it but well I don't know how I'm going to go about that so it's slowing me down...And well I can't really MAKE it without the art (sprites) and to make it over and over again is going to slow me down.
Maybe simple is the best option but I don't know....Anyways, here's some screen shots of my test routes.

The little thing floating is a mushroom bonus point floating down after I hit the mushroom block with the ball.

Also a video:

So you see I was going for a more cartoon/comic style but I don't like it to be perfectly honest.
I was going to go with outer-space but I didn't like that either, and I really don't want to go plain background that just sounds so tacky and lazy...so I'm kinda stuck but trying to work some of the kinks out of the basic game-play. There are a lot of bugs that I have no clue how to fix so GOOGLE HERE WE COME! So that's my "game" I haven't even named it yet since I want a style to fit a name. What are your suggestions? I'll take any in to mind.

New Splash Screen for Tilly's Rose Garden; Seasons: Spring!

Well after much procrastination I finally made my splash screen for TRG - Spring so...here it is!


I wasn't sure which way to go with it, so I ended up with 2. I think I'm going to end up using the wide one instead of the tall one.

Enjoy!
