About

Are you a bad enough dude to take on the evil BLOXX empire?

This is a simple breakout clone for the NEC PC-8801. 

It was designed and tested in V1-S mode (i.e. the original hardware spec), but if you want a challenge, it works great in high-speed memory mode V1-H or V2 mode as well. 

Controls:
A / D or Numpad 4 / 6: Move left/right
Space: Launch ball at level start, or fire a power wave when your EDGE is fully charged

Rules:
WIN / LOSE : Destroy all the bricks to win. If the ball touches the bottom of the screen, you lose. When you win a stage, the game will take you back to the title screen / level select, but will save your score. Aim for the highest score!
SCORING : All bricks are worth the same - 1 point. If you destroy a brick with your power wave, though, you will get 2 points. 
EDGE and POWER WAVE: The Bloxx Empire is edgy. Striking a brick on its edge will grant you an edge point and charge your power wave, but the effect on your ball can be unpredictable. Watch out!

Devlog coming soon, and possibly more updates (like bricks taking multiple hits).
