This is a breakout clone I made following the amazing tutorials available here.

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:

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	Reduce pill - reduces the pad size for a short time and doubles all score	Multiball pill - spawns another ball and increases score whilst active
Megaball pill - destroys everything in its path!
