Entry for the Curious Game Jam 2020

THEME

70s-90s Arcade Games

DESCRIPTION OF MY ENTRY

To meet the theme, I combined the arcade game play of Breakout (created by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in a fun bit of trivia) with a bit of Level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros for the NES.

CONTROLS

Use the Right/Left arrows or A/D keys to move the paddle back and forth to hit the ball in order to remove all the colored clouds. The ball will bounce off the ground, but will destroy the ground block while doing so. If the ball falls below the ground, you lose a life. See if you can get enough points to make the high score leaderboard - a true staple of the arcade! Obtain a mushroom to double the size of your paddle. Hit enemies to score bonus points.
