Bricks 'n Balls v1.0 by Avatar
Single-line description
A breakout-style game where you clear bricks featuring graphics from classic C64 games by bouncing energy balls to repair corrupted memory cells on a damaged flash drive.
Very short single-line description
Revisit characters from old C64 games, breakout style.
Basic information
Bricks 'n balls is a breakout clone.
On each level, your goal is to remove all the bricks from the playfield (except for unbreakable ones).
Game can be controlled with joystick, paddle, or 1351 mouse in port 2.
If using paddles, make sure that potentiometers are good, if not, clean them.
When joystick is selected, keys C,V and M also work for game controll.
When you activate cheat mode, Restore is your friend. Hint for cheat mode activation is somewhere...
Story
Your trusty flash drive that holds all of your favorite retro games has gone bad.
You played them so much that memory cells became weak.
You managed to refresh some of them, but in the process some cells became unerasable.
After consulting people on various demo parties you managed to create C64 code that can recover the rest of cells
via quantum entaglement with C64 RAM, using the C64 as a kind of magnifying glass into flash memory.
Interestingly, it turned out that only graphics from old games and some of your own projects is what resisted erasing.
All you need to do now is to bump all bad memory cells to erase their content.
You can bump them with energy balls, but since their number is limited, you'll need to reuse them over and over.
For that purpose, you implemented reflecting bat that can relaunch energy balls back to unerased memory cells.
But you MUST NOT miss the ball, or you'll lose it.
