Description
It's Super Breakout, 1977 Atari 2600 style (Game Mode 3, aka "Doubles"), except that you can control and reverse "ball time" while playing.
How to Play
*Clear all bricks as fast as possible!* Mouse left/right to control paddles, mouse up/down to control time. Mouse click to begin. (Viewing High Scores through Kongregate's site will *no longer* display them as "9999-[the time]", since I figured out how to use Min Stat. I apologize if this disrupts your high score position! I don't believe that I have access to update old values on that table...)

Easy to clear bricks out fast when you just keep chaning the direction of the ball to knock bricks out. I didn't even use the paddle for 95% of the game.

There needs to be more games with time control like this

Thanks for the comments!
RoninTenkai and Juze - what you are referring to are not bugs, they are the original collision rules as they behave from the Atari 2600 game, Super Breakout, skipping/diagonal/directional anomalies and all. :)

Nice concept, with the ability to reverse and fast forward. There are some bugs which a few have already pointed out like going through a tile. Overall a pretty neat game.

Both of the points you brought up are responded to in earlier posts, but I think they're now buried on another page. To reiterate:
"Clocks are a bit too round for that though."
Everything that wasn't in the 2600 game (text, clocks) is deliberately not styled to look like it was. And vice versa.
:)
"Kinda buggy detection of a hit"
Not a bug. The collision detection is designed to emulate the TIA single-line buffer sprite collision system, which from time to time exhibits these same anomolies. If you're referring to when it goes through several bricks at once, that's part of the design for Super Breakout, and has to do with a sign flag that flips on the ball after hitting the back wall, until it next touches the paddle.
Thanks for the feedback!
