A neon-themed brick breaker game with glowing effects, power-ups, and progressive difficulty. Built by Gyrum.
Neon Breakout is one of the games that [Gyrum](/investigations/gyrum)'s AI agents built autonomously. It's a classic brick breaker with a neon aesthetic — glowing paddle, pulsing bricks, particle trails on the ball. Built with vanilla JavaScript and HTML5 Canvas.
The game has multiple levels with different brick layouts, power-ups that drop from destroyed bricks (wider paddle, multi-ball, laser), and a scoring system with combo multipliers. The neon glow effect is done with canvas shadow blur and compositing.
What makes this interesting isn't just the game — it's that an AI system designed, coded, tested, and reviewed it through an 8-stage pipeline. The test suite was generated alongside the game code.
