Что такое свобода, каково это противостоять всем окружающим обстоятельствам, ощущать несправедливость и ложь, и находить в себе силы пытаться отстаивать свои убеждения?

Doughlings: Arcade est un jeu de type Arkanoid dont le but est de soigner tous les Doughlings avec une balle de cure. Au fur et à mesure de l'aventure, de nouveaux ennemis apparaitront (comme des Doughlings pétrifiés ou des Doughlings fantôme qui se téléportent par exemple). Pour contrer cela, vous aurez également des pouvoirs qui vous permettront de changer la donne comme le Gunner qui vous permet de tirer en plus de la balle ou Spider qui vous permet d'avoir 2 balles au lieu d'une. Chaque pouvoir a également une capacité spéciale, comme celui de base qui change un groupe de Doughlings de même couleur au lieu d'un seul ou le Robot qui tire un rayon laser. À travers plus de 75 niveaux, vous aurez le temps de bien appréhender les différents pouvoirs et ennemis. Dans chaque niveaux se trouvent des étoiles que vous aurez à ramasser afin de récupérer de l'ADN pour améliorer vos différents pouvoirs. J'aime beaucoup les jeux de type Arkanoid et celui-ci m'intriguait. En y jouant au début je me suis dit qu'il était sympa mais au fur et à mesure de mes parties, j'ai constaté une sorte de lassitude. Je n'ai pas vraiment retrouvé cet aspect Arkanoid que j'apprécie, celui de bien viser avec lorsqu'on réussit bien une balle d'avoir des bonus qui arrive comme une multiballe à garder ou une super balle qui se met à tout détruire d'un seul coup (ça y est ne vous en faites pas, mais la sensation est différente, notamment car les ennemis ont besoin de plusieurs coups pour disparaître). Au final, à la fin je ne visais que les étoiles pour me dire que j'ai finis le niveau, sans vraiment chercher à vaincre tout le monde. En soit le jeu n'est pas mauvais car il propose plein de concept et plusieurs variations de gameplay. Cependant malgré ses couleurs, j'ai finis par le trouver un peu fade à force. 12/20
ahhh,,, ze doughlings,,,
Doughlings: Arcade is a bright, energetic reimagining of the classic brick-breaker formula, developed and published by Hero Concept with a clear goal of modernizing a familiar genre without losing its immediate, pick-up-and-play appeal. At its core, the game revolves around bouncing a projectile across the screen to clear rows of animated Doughlings, but it quickly distinguishes itself through personality, progression systems, and a playful sense of creativity that elevates it beyond a simple homage to Arkanoid-style classics. From the very beginning, the game establishes a cheerful tone, combining lighthearted storytelling with fast, responsive arcade action that feels welcoming to newcomers while still offering depth for dedicated players. The fundamental gameplay loop is easy to grasp and satisfying to execute. You control a paddle at the bottom of the screen, directing a ball upward to hit and “cure” infected Doughlings. Each Doughling type behaves slightly differently, requiring multiple hits or specific approaches, which adds variety and keeps levels from feeling interchangeable. Power-ups frequently drop during play, temporarily enhancing your paddle, changing the ball’s behavior, or triggering special effects that can clear large portions of the screen. This constant flow of upgrades and visual feedback keeps the pace lively and ensures that even straightforward levels feel engaging rather than repetitive. One of the game’s most distinctive features is its transformation system, which allows the protagonist to adopt different personas with unique abilities. By collecting DNA during stages, players can activate powerful forms that drastically alter how a level is approached, introducing laser attacks, smash abilities, or screen-clearing effects. These transformations add a surprising layer of strategy, as deciding when and how to use them can mean the difference between an effortless clear and a sudden loss. Between levels, players can invest in upgrades that strengthen these abilities, subtly introducing progression mechanics that reward continued play without overwhelming the core arcade simplicity. Visually, Doughlings: Arcade leans heavily into a colorful, cartoon-inspired aesthetic that reinforces its playful identity. The Doughlings themselves are expressive and charming, reacting cheerfully when cured and giving the game a sense of personality rarely seen in traditional brick-breakers. Backgrounds and effects are vibrant without being distracting, and the clarity of the visuals ensures that even during hectic moments, it remains easy to track the ball, power-ups, and remaining targets. The presentation strikes a strong balance between visual flair and readability, which is crucial for a reflex-driven arcade experience. Sound design complements the visuals with upbeat music and satisfying effects that reinforce every successful hit and power-up activation. The soundtrack maintains an energetic tone that suits short, intense play sessions, while audio cues provide clear feedback that helps players stay in rhythm. Although extended sessions can make some audio elements feel repetitive, they generally serve their purpose well by enhancing momentum rather than detracting from it. Beyond the main campaign, Doughlings: Arcade offers a generous amount of additional content that greatly extends its lifespan. Bonus stages introduce unusual mechanics and challenges that break from the standard structure, while the inclusion of a level editor allows players to create and share custom stages. This community-driven aspect adds nearly endless replay value, as user-generated levels can range from clever puzzle-like designs to brutally difficult endurance challenges. Leaderboards and achievements further encourage mastery and competition, appealing to players who enjoy pushing for perfect runs or high scores. While the game’s reliance on a classic formula means it may not appeal to those uninterested in arcade-style experiences, it makes excellent use of that foundation. Some late-game levels can feel intense or overwhelming, especially for players who have not fully engaged with the upgrade systems, but these difficulty spikes are generally fair and reinforce the importance of learning mechanics rather than relying solely on reflexes. Overall, Doughlings: Arcade is a joyful and polished arcade experience that succeeds by combining nostalgic mechanics with modern design sensibilities. Its blend of accessible gameplay, charming presentation, and meaningful progression systems creates a package that feels both familiar and refreshingly inventive. Whether played in short bursts or longer sessions, it delivers consistent satisfaction and variety, making it a standout example of how classic arcade genres can be thoughtfully revitalized for a contemporary audience. Rating: 8/10

Good little 'Breakout Clone' Arcade Game for kids or to have fun for a few hours. I bought the bundle with Doughlings: Invasion for like 1.5 € or something and it was well worth it for me. Liked this Arcade one more than its sucessor Invasion. here are some Pros and many Cons I noticed, however I still had fun playing trough the game and getting all achievements, and it was well worth the price when you can get it on sale: hard to aim to hit the ball in certain direction because charachter model is not a flat surface like in Break Out not optimized for Steamoverlay Soundtrack good but short and repetitive game and lvl design good but at same time repetitive nice achievos, linear progression, no misses, however some (morph into x and show off y times) are kind of crindy and I only had like 50% of some of those at the end of the playtorugh, but other than that great doughlungs getting to close to bottom are no no threat here, they just fall down, it's too easy, they changed this in the sucessor Invasion, where they do damage which is nicer new hero or enemy dialog appears twice for normal & secret lvls and again when you replay levels, would be nice if they had a remember or don't show again function Smash Upgrade 4 doesn't seem to one hit petrified targets, as I understood the text to mean has a level editor, which not many games do now a days open end cliffhanger to the 'story' (which is just like 1 or 2 1 minute cut scenes, so don't buy it for the 'story') leading to the sucessor -> Doughlings (2): Invasion
