Hello fellow Pico-8 fans
It's still a work in progress, but thought folks could check it out and have more fun. Thanks to @Krystman and LazyDevs for getting me up to speed with Pico-8. More acknowledgements below. But thought I'd start out with some early thanks :)
How to play the game
X - Launch Ball
C - Launch Bomb (need to gain them with bomb powerup)
Left - Move Paddle Left
Right - Move Paddle Right
When in the Piconoid start screen
Left - Show Highscores
Right - Hide Highscores
UpDown - Level select (I opted to add this feature to have fun with the different levels)
Goal is to hit the bricks, and clear them all before advancing to the next level. There are 9 levels (more to come).
Powerups

The original power ups from breakout hero are there AND I added a few more power ups.
New Powerups...
Lazor - Hit Z to shoot!
Multipaddle - A new paddle will appear on top of the existing one
Bomb - Hit Z to send off a bomb vertically. These can destroy invincible bricks
Bomb ball - changes bricks into exploding bricks
Powerup ball - changes bricks into powerup bricks
There are four backgrounds
Circuits
Cells
Starfield
Rain
