SG57 has released TIFF Brick-Out, an ASCII-based Arkanoid homebrew clone that just happens to be compatible with FW 2.0 - 2.8. Those of you who are totally averse to history lessons don't worry it's going to be a one line backgrounder on Arkanoid. Arkanoid is originally an arcade game by Taito (circa 1986) which in turn is a simplified clone of Sega's Gigas and Gigas Mark 2 which were based on Atari's Breakout games from the 70s. We told you it was going to be a one liner.<br><br>The gameplay:<br>You controls a small space vessel and your goal is to prevent a ball from falling from the playing field. You must try to bounce it against a number of bricks cuasing the bricks to disappear. When you succeed in taking out all the bricks you move to the next level which features another set of bricks.<br><br>To play TIFF Brick-Out, use the following controls:<br><br> * D-Pad: Paddle Movement<br> * Start: Pause<br> * HOME: Exit (when paused)<br> * Music Note:Screenshot<br><br>The current version of TIFF Brick-Out has three powerups:<br><br> * Super Ball: Turns your ball 'invincible' for a period of time so it goes right through the bricks.<br> * Reverse: Inverts the D-Pad controls. (Left becomes right, and vice versa)<br> * Laser Gun: Mounts one laser right in the middle of your paddle for a period of time. Fire laser with X.<br><br>Reported bugs:<br><br> * Sound is a little delayed<br> * Diagonal collision at the right angle causes a 'super ball' effect<br> * Ball may appear in the paddle when actually dead because of a split second thing where you can move the paddle at a certain moment causing the ball to be on the paddle, but not have any effect<br><br>If you find more bugs or cheat codes SG57 would love to hear from you.
