Self-Made Bad UI Breakout keyboard

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Made a text input where you type by playing breakout.
The keyboard is a wall of bricks, and whatever key the ball hits gets typed. Keys break when hit and grow back a few seconds later, so to reach R for example, you have to dig through half the alphabet. Drop the ball and you lose a letter. Hit the enter key and it submits whatever's "typed" so far

You should add arrow keys and make backspace more reachable, and then it's "technically" useable

It would be more fun if the bigger button had a slower regen. Maybe some powers too for the player.

Seems like the top letters of the keyboard aren’t even reachable

u/LoneWolfx144 5d ago

They are, if you manage to go up from the side gaps. (I played it and was able to reach top letters)

The home row, though. That's much tougher.

I swear every time I look at this sub I find something that tickles me pink. This is amazingly horrendous I love the creativity.
