Sovietoid - A brutalist breakout clone.
First real little project from a total beginner, my goal was to create something from scratch with what I learned.
I do not plan to update the game a lot now that the primary goal is reached but I'll try to add a little shine on it.
Update 1 : added highscores and bonus point drops
Update 2 : infinite mode, the game restarts faster when all bricks are out, no more loss of point when losing a ball


HOW TO PLAY:
Rescue all the elves on each level
Once the elves are all connected, get the gift
Coins are optional
Use your arrow keys to move the elves
Be careful not to snap your rescue ropes!
STORY:
A group of elves were recently stranded on Elf Mountain.
Rescue them and the lost presents to save Christmas!

Hi!
I seem to have stumbled across a slight bug with mixing audio rates on separate channels while working on a game.
Basically, I have channels 2,3 and 4 set at half rate, while channel 1 is at the normal rate, to get a bit higher range for the sfx in game. I have only channel 4 reserved for music by calling music(0,0,0b0001) in _init(), and since that's one of my half rate channels, I'd want stat(24) to accurately provide the pattern its playing currently. However, it seems this only works some of the time, and it can get out of sync pretty easily.
In the cart here, I've separated the music things from my game and made some easier to interpret statistics, but the bug still happens. Here I've made all the music patterns different, every pattern has a different note, and groups of 4 patterns use different instruments, so you can hear where in the sequence the song is. And just to make sure: The audio plays back correctly, the thing that's not working is what stat(24) reports as the current pattern.
