Yup.




to get around this, maybe you could
1) make them breakable, but they decrease the score
2) include a bomb supply that clears the entire line
you are in.



In the "source material" you can remove brown blocks but it eats up a chunk of your time. Assuming I do add the timer element that's likely the way I'll go.


Other power-ups might be a nice idea (bombs, &etc), but probably beyond the scope of my version...


Chris...





This is an awesome game. I'd wondered whether or not the Mr. Driller mechanic could be done after a fashion on the 2600, but I figured that one this good was impossible. I'm glad it's not . . .
