Brick's Revenge (C64)

This game is designed for the Commodore 64, you will need to play it on an emulator or transfer to a real C64. Both PRG and D64 files are included.
Story:
After many years of abuse at the hands of bats and balls the brick's have had enough. They have now declared war on the world of bats and you are one of the last hopes to hold back their army!
Controls:
Joystick In Port 2.
Left and Right to move the paddle.

Gameplay:
On each of the 12 levels you must smash enough bricks to open up the goal zone and then fire a ball into that zone to advance.

You will also lose a life if hit by a kamikaze brick, laser fire, missiles or the giant brick.

Please support c1351 mouse ;)
planning a second at some point and hoping to have mouse and paddles in that, I have paddles to test but not a mouse currently.
Me too but I use modern replacement. Mouster. I can connect any USB mouse to c64. 😉
Might have to get one of those for myself!
Recommended. Works great.
Awesome work guys ! Thank you.
Thank you!
https://c64games.net/2022/11/21/bricks-revenge-2020-boddicker-games/ - Very good ideas in this Arkanoid-like game! You should continue with some updates including mouse/paddle support, please!
It's a long time since I've been on here and I missed this.
I'm hoping to do a second one at some point and include stuff such as paddle support as I now have some paddles to test with.
"Boddicker Games", you know what - a "Brick's Revenge 2" or "Brick's Revenge DX" version, with a 2-player-simultan playmode, for example like it is in the C64-game "T.R.A.Z. (Transformable Arcade Zone)" would be superb to have in your game. And a 4-player mode (playable with 4-player.adapter) would also be fantastic of course. Maybe sometime in the future? :)
Sorry, missed this comment! I may make a Brick's Revenge 2 at some point as I always used to play Batty a lot with friends before going out clubbing as 2 player was really fun on that.
That sounds good. Would be great.
Nice game. I like the idea not to have to remove all the blocks. Very enjoyable.
Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Fatastic game. Plays well, music is so enjoyable and catchy. To call it a breakout clone is to do it a disservice. It's fun and offers a unique take on the game style that I've never seen.
Thank you very much for your kind words, glad you’ve enjoyed the game!
I hoped the title suggested that I finally was able to impersonate the bricks and helping beating our long lasting enemies: bats and balls 🙃
Maybe that’s a game for another time, playing the role of the bricks and using powers to beat the bats!
Hey, enjoyed playing the game. Like the twist where the bricks start hurling themself toward you and the wall of bricks advancing down on you.
Great music from Mike Richmond too :)
Thank you, I’m glad you liked the game and the music of course!
Not bad. Control of the player-paddle and the steering is good. With this i mean, the balls bounces in appropriate angles away from the paddle after contact. It is possible to hit certain bricks after a little bit of exercise. Good. Nice little Breakout/Arkanoid Type game. Not with much extras or something, game overall is rater simple with not alot of settings you can make, but the gameplay works well. Thumbs up.
Thanks for the comment. This is my first C64 game using assembly so I decided to keep it simple while I was learning!
I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for purchasing :)
