One of the smallest of my 20 2020 jam games, but it still makes me smile. Click the image up there to play, or see it in its original context on itch.io.

Original devlog / postmortem:

This was another case where I sought out a jam to suit an idea I had, and just fully ignored the theme, which was “COG.” Oh well. I googled “Breakout except you’re the bricks” and didn’t find anything, but I can’t imagine it’s actually the first time somebody has done it.

This is the first time I’ve done a straight-up game-as-joke, and I’m pretty happy with it. I was able to repurpose a lot of existing code and execute on this idea in just a few hours, which is the only way it was ever going to exist. Players told me it made them laugh, so mission accomplished.
