Trick or Meat!

This is a version of Breakout adapted from the incredible tutorial from Lazy Devs: Pico-8 Tutorial - Breakout

Trick or Meat

Send your energy to the houses in the neighborhood to earn points and collect candy. Be sure to visit everyone to advance to the next neighborhood.

House Types

These are regular houses excited to give you points when you visit.

These houses explode when you knock on their door, blowing up nearby houses!

 

These houses never answer their door...

These houses will give you candy! Eating a piece gives you powers!

These houses need to be knocked on more than once before they answer.
