Thanks to Krystman and Lazydevs for creating the series and allowing me to make my first game in Pico-8.
HOW TO PLAY:
- Arrow keys Left/Right to move the pad, X to release the ball
- Enter to pause the game
- Clear all bricks to advance to the next stage
- Change the direction/angle of the ball using the pad
- Collect powerups for various effects
- If you run out of lives, you can start again from the beginning or carry on from the same level but lose your score
- Turn screenshake effect on or off in the menu
- Leave me a comment below with your highest level/score :)
BRICKS:
- Regular brick - one hit to break
- Hardened brick - three hits to break
- Indestructible brick - impossible to break
- Powerup brick - releases a random powerup when hit
- Explosive brick - damages all bricks around it
POWERUPS:
- Life pill - Grants an extra life
- Slow pill - slows ball speed for a short time
- Sticky pill - pad will catch the next ball to touch it
- Expand pill - increases the size of the pad for a short time
