This is my first attempt at writing something for the Pico-8. I used to enjoy playing a game called Bubble Breaker on Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0 many years ago. It became an obsession and my wife and I would compete for the best score.
The idea of a Same Game has been around since the 1980's. This Pico-8 version uses simple ball sprites. In theory it can have a board size of 16x15 with up to 8 colours, but I have chosen the following setups:
- Pocket: 11x12 with 5 colours, just like Bubble Breaker
- Big Easy: 15x14 with 4 colours. Big scores.
- Six Colours: 15x14 with 6 colours. Much harder.
Mark a block using X. Clear by pressing X on the block again. Use O to undo. You can only undo the last clear and no more. There is a bonus for clearing the board.
It has a few bugs; the sound and graphics can do with some work, but it has already become a favourite in my family and I hope you enjoy it, too.
