Barbarricade for ColecoVision

5/17/2026: Added a sound effect for the stab death.

As befitting a game system of its vintage, the ColecoVision has several brick breaker games. None of the official ones (including Bit's Strike It! and Spectravideo's perplexing Flipper Slipper) have analog control, though, which is kind of important for a game in this genre. 

However, I'm in the process of filling that gap in the system's library, with Barbarricade. This game is a lot like your average Break-a-noid, with Slim Van Der Batt sending a tiny wrecking ball into rows of bricks. The difference is that the bricks don't just wait for you to pound them into gravel. Every three serves, they'll move one step closer to Slim, giving him less time to recover the ball. Worse yet, while some colored bricks have handy bonuses, others release deadly stabs, while others still send the ball BACK to you at double the speed.

Can you finish all three stages with five balls in this beta demo? Coming soon, more rounds, more music, more hidden goodies, and more fun!
