Behind The Scenes

This is my first game made with Pico-8! I'm loving it so far! So the project started out as a basic pong clone. I later had the idea of making it a single player game, with the goal being to destroy the ball(s) before they reach the bottom of the screen. Once I added the fire and ice power-up, the game really started to click with me and I genuinely enjoyed playing this game. I added the finishing touches, including the ever-alluring wizard guy, satisfying particles and the main menu. After that, I published it here and on itch. Hope you enjoy:D My high-score is 45,100, can you beat it???
