New 2600 game : "BRIK"

Hi,

 

My first game, so I thought I'd share it in my first post  :)

 

I wanted to create an Arkanoid-style game for the 2600 that that improves on Breakout.  Key requirements were:

 

 - Have many individually designed levels (unlike breakout which just has a solid wall).

 - Bricks should be displayed as individual blocks with horizontal division, not just solid rows.

 - Have bonus objects falling down the screen that can be collected.

 - Have an enemy that moves about the screen.

 - Fit into 4K for physical cartridge release.

 

It's been a bit of a challenge squeezing it all into 4K and within the available cycles.  However, after a lot of optimisation and many re-writes, it's done and *just* fits, although the sound had to be compromised.  It's been a bit of a learning experience I've have thoroughly enjoyed working within the limitations of the hardware and the programming environment.

 

4K rom is attached.  Hope you enjoy it.  Let me know what you think.
