DX-BALL

This project is a recreation of the iconic DX-BALL game. In DX-BALL, you control the paddle at the bottom of the screen and use it to keep the moving ball from falling off the bottom, while trying to get as much score as possible by breaking the bricks. There are several perks that make the game easier or harder, depending on their effects. Your goal is to get as much points as possible while completing as many levels as you can.
