Blocky

The Game

Blocky is a project from a self imposed Game Jam. I gave myself 5 days to create this game. I may create an updated version in the future as I do have more planned for it.

Blocky is your classic block breaker game, in the style of Arkanoid for the ZX Spectrum. The game has a maximum colour pallet of 16 colours, again in the style of colours used for the ZX Spectrum.

This game was created as a learning project for Godot, and for the (at the time of writing) upcoming ZX Spectrum Next 3, as I plan to recreate the game for that computer.

The game has a handful of enemies and power ups and 6 levels, there is no ending. If you complete the final level then nothing will happen. Points can be accumulated (points multiplier increases the more blocks/enemies you break without losing a ball), however the points don't actually do anything.

The game contains a debug skip feature, just press r on any level to skip it, and there are also a generous amount of lives.

Controls

• Left Arrow key : Move Left
• Right Arrow Key : Move Right
• Space : Fire ball, fire laser
• R : skip to next level

AI Included Assets:

There is only one asset in this game that was generated by AI, and that is the animated Squirrel. I did take the image and redraw over it to clean up the pixels for the correct resolution, but the initial image was generated by Microsoft Copilot.
