Hit the Block is an arcade and logic game, which is a PeCet modification of the Crillion program, which triumphs in the late eighties on Commodore 64.
The player’s task is theoretically very simple – you have to knock down all the colored blocks on the board with a ball bouncing off the horizontal edges of the screen. Slightly worse is its implementation, because in the vast majority of cases, the colors of the bullet and the target differ. In such a system one should use color transformers scattered here and there. After contact with this device, the ball changes color and only then you can destroy the remaining blocks on the board. Of course, various types of surprises in HitBlock are found much more. We have skulls that automatically destroy the bullet, floppy diskettes that can be moved, goals that allow only a ball of one color, and so on.
The game has a total of 73 boards, divided into five sets of increasing difficulty. Beginners should start the game with the Tutorial, which presents all available blocks and general rules of the game in turn. For fans of the original, there are also classic charts, which are a faithful copy of what you could see in the archaic Crillion. If we successfully complete all the stages designed by the authors of the game, we can always create our own using the built-in and very easy to use editor.
