SG57 has released TIFF Brick-Out, an ASCII-based Arkanoid homebrew clone that just happens to be compatible with FW 2.0 - 2.8. Those of you who are totally averse to history lessons don't worry it's going to be a one line backgrounder on Arkanoid. Arkanoid is originally an arcade game by Taito (circa 1986) which in turn is a simplified clone of Sega's Gigas and Gigas Mark 2 which were based on Atari's Breakout games from the 70s. We told you it was going to be a one liner.
The gameplay:
You controls a small space vessel and your goal is to prevent a ball from falling from the playing field. You must try to bounce it against a number of bricks cuasing the bricks to disappear. When you succeed in taking out all the bricks you move to the next level which features another set of bricks.
To play TIFF Brick-Out, use the following controls:
* D-Pad: Paddle Movement
* Start: Pause
* HOME: Exit (when paused)
* Music Note:Screenshot
The current version of TIFF Brick-Out has three powerups:
* Super Ball: Turns your ball 'invincible' for a period of time so it goes right through the bricks.
* Reverse: Inverts the D-Pad controls. (Left becomes right, and vice versa)
* Laser Gun: Mounts one laser right in the middle of your paddle for a period of time. Fire laser with X.
Reported bugs:
* Sound is a little delayed
* Diagonal collision at the right angle causes a 'super ball' effect
* Ball may appear in the paddle when actually dead because of a split second thing where you can move the paddle at a certain moment causing the ball to be on the paddle, but not have any effect
If you find more bugs or cheat codes SG57 would love to hear from you.
