It may not seem like it, but it can be quite addictive. I think a different color palette might have worked better, but the one it has is fine. I would have liked the game space to take up more of the screen and the statistics less. Good job.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
Originally, it was a lot more colorful, but given the tight constraints, I just didn't know how to make it look more attractive without cluttering up the field or becoming too distracting. And then, suddenly, I remembered playing "Arkanoid" on the GameBoy Classic, and it seemed to make sense to try and mimic that color palette. Once I went in that direction, it became easier to create something more thematic, even if it wasn't very attractive. In the end, I actually feel kind of embarrassed when I see what others were capable of with such extreme limitations. Some of these other entries are absolutely stunning.
Meanwhile... the stats displays were the bane of my existence. I tried to make a smaller font than the system default but it ended up being pretty much the same. I just couldn't figure out a better way to convey important information about game status to the player.
