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.
