Hey itch.io community!

I'm very happy to share Bouncenoid my first video game! If you like classic 80s based pixel art arcade games, you might enjoy it ;-)

I had the original idea of a "reversed" brick-breaking" game years ago, and I never thought I'd actually develop it. But while struggling to find a new job (not in video games!), I needed a project to keep my sanity and this idea came back to me... It was a side-project at first, mainly to proof-test the idea and try some AI tools to evaluate how much help I could gain. And little by little the game got to me and I started to have so many ideas to add that I finally decided to go all the way and try and craft something a bit polished. And the other important thing is that my best friend and composer Hubert Razack offered to create the soundtrack for the game. From there I had no choice but to create a game that would live up to the music 😅

It's a pygame-based game for now, though I plan to release a web version at some point. Though it's inspired by 80s games, it comes with trophies, many levels, options and other features for casual and hard-core gamers alike. I'd love to receive some feedback and know that people are trying to beat the game and reach the end of the 48 levels, enjoying the live comments from "the Spark", the ball of energy you guide to uncover the mysterious distress signal...

Anyway, enjoy it! Happy bouncing ;-)
