Thats great! I've tested it today on my real hardware with Chroma and Joystick!
Hard to believe this is running on a ZX81 - sometimes the game is a little bit too fast for me
When there are three balls the same time - it's hard to see all of them....
Some little sound for the ZXpand-AY would be the last thing to add!
I think we play it a little bit on the party tonight
Wish you a great year 2015!

Thanks Jungsi, it's always good to get feedback on the games I write.
Unfortunately I'm pretty awful at doing SFX/music (something which initially attracted me to the Largely silent Zeddy!), but there is room in the game to include some if somebody wants to provide some code snippets?

Hi Daryn! Yeah, it's fast, but if it was slow it'd be too easy!
The speed of the game is something I thought about a lot when I was writing it. If it's too fast it's unplayable, but too slow and it simply becoming boring and monotonous - which is obviously something I wanted to avoid. So the speeds are roughly based around those of Arkanoid and Batty on the Spectrum.
