My first ever pico-8 game, which is of course based off the first tutorial in the first zine ("squashy"). Very predictable, I know. Just about the only thing which makes this one different from the hundreds of others is that the ball will occasionally turn orange and start obeying gravity. Oh, and the colour choices aren't quite as ugly, among other quality of life improvements. I also used Mozz's smoke tutorial from the same zine, and Pixel's "THICC TEXT" plugin. I think it turned out well!
Seems like a fun game, maybe make the ball fall a little slower to start off, I lost all of my lives without even touching the ball.
Good but when it does that arc thing the paddle moves a bit slow to return. Or the ball is moving too fast. I actually posted recently a bit regarding paddle movement HERE:
@orion in deluxe mode, the horizontal speed of the ball is determined by where you hit it on the paddle, which adds some strategy. And some bugs.
