I figure I’ll make this a weekly, Friday thing for a little while. 🙂

I’ve mentioned this one in a previous post, and I’ve been sitting on it for a while because I wanted to create a splash screen for it first. Now that I have that out of the way, I present to you: My Breakout clone.

I originally built this one with sprites. I wasn’t happy with the performance, so I switched to using a tile map. It works … mostly. The game has to guess which tile was hit, and it doesn’t always guess correctly. It makes the game a little unpredictable, but I find it quirky and very playable.

Have fun!
