I recreated the Pop the Lock arcade game. You can find it here!
All you need to know to play it is to press space.
I used a custom block I made in it:
Please give me criticism on how I can improve!
Also, if you turn on turbo mode (by shift-clicking the green flag), you can try a “hard mode” where the ball is smaller.
Nice little game!
Anyway great game!
Also I made it to 10 once!
I think this game’s called “Pop the lock”
Oh okay. Thanks!
Nice game! I usually die at 5, but I made it to 8 once. :~) I was a bit disconcerted by the fact that there doesn’t seem to be a way to win the game. That’s not my expectation for arcade games. Maybe at least you get a badge at each multiple of 10?
I’m only a grownup, so I don’t have the hand-eye coordination to test this, but I can imagine that if the speed becomes great enough, the red ball could pass through the black barrier too quickly for the code to notice (i.e., it gets all the way through within one display cycle).
Okay, I will add badges after I test the speed thing (the highest I got was 18).
Edit:
Don’t worry, the point where the red ball passes through the barrier too quickly is around 70.
The lowest recorded is 59.
if you enlarge the black rectangle, you can reach over 100 without any skip !
the only thing I can think to recommend is instead of drawing the circle and using the fill, you can go to (0,0) set the pen size to 255 and move 0 steps and it’ll draw the circle without the stutter near the start.

But that makes the early (slow) stages really easy.
So it probably help you reach level 10-12. (and a badge for you)
Not sure it affect the gameplay (I’m not sure anyone can reach level 70 either…)
Suggestion: Forget about watchers! You should switch to a more appealing number display in the middle using the pen to write numbers or by some other method. Otherwise, there will be too much space left on the blue circle in the middle.
When I heard these exact three words, I assumed it was this game. I remembered when I wondered "What is the point of this game? Why would it be this repetitive" and only made it to ≤ 15 levels!
Where is Android?
Thank you! I added this in.
True. I usually use watchers as a placeholder for a better display. I will get to that in a bit
Edit:
I made it so then the pen writes the score. The size gradually gets bigger with the score!
When you read
If your talking about the app store you download games on for Android, they usually use Google Play.
I am currently not making badges, but I am making different skins you can unlock by doing certain achievements. There are only 2 different skins aside from the base one. I’ll still add badges though.
Fun game! It does seem to error once you inevitably lose the game.
Please describe the error
Reload, then try it. I should have fixed the issue.
Yep its fixed!
I meant "Where is the Android equivalent of that game?". I don’t think the developer planned to port the game to Android.

The issue is now fixed!
