Jardinains! for Windows
Break bricks with a paddle and ball, bounce mischievous gnomes, and collect powerups in Jardinains! for Windows.
What is Jardinains!?
Jardinains! adds gnomes and falling hazards to the paddle-and-ball brick-breaker. Move the paddle with the mouse to keep the ball in play, knock the 'nains off their bricks, and bounce them for extra points and powerups. The gnomes fight back by throwing flowerpots and other objects, so clearing the board also means avoiding what falls toward your paddle.
The game offers hand-crafted level packs alongside an Endless mode with procedurally generated levels. Playstyle options let you adjust the experience rather than committing to one fixed pace. Collectibles can change the ball or paddle, but the publisher's manual warns that not every powerup helps.
