In case you opt for a BREAKOUT...
Include this... When you get a "CATCH THE BALL"-EXTRA let the ball move horizontally and FIRE BUTTON launches it straight up. This would help to hit those damn stones in the corners...

Sounds good...
On the subway I just played XENON II on my GAMEBOY COLOR... Shoot'em ups are so cool! Do you know XENON II on AMIGA? Brillo soundtrack. If you'll ever finish a game, what about a nice DIGI REMIX TITLE MUSIC... I got the ORIGINAL tune by BOMB THE BASS... It's radical. BTW, is you're SPRITE ROUTINE fast enough to handle in-game digis? OK, just kiddin'... :)
This place is like the pubs in Britain, except they don't let you sent a last e-mail...
See ya,
Chicken
PS What about a PINBALL GAME? David's Midnight Magic is still one of my faves on plus/4...
