(Solo project)
As a previous game jam was a success, I decided to try it once again. This time I picked the OneLoneCoder’s game jam as I am a subscriber of his YouTube channel. The theme “Destruction” was rather general and I wanted to be more limited. By that time I noticed the existence of virtual consoles and I decided to use TIC-80 for this game jam.
Gameplay
The biggest challenge was to come up with an idea fitting into the theme but simple enough to realize it in one week on an unknown platform and programming language. Arkanoid is for sure destructive enough but I wanted something fresh. When I twisted the Arkanoid’s mechanic to build the bricks instead of controlling the ball, the classic Tetris shapes came into my mind almost immediately.
