Rob-Ball (C64)
A downloadable game
Rob is back! After the success of Rob-Man, the journey continues with Rob-Ball, a high-octane brick-breaker that pushes your C64 to its limits. This isn't just another clone; it’s a fully polished, assembly-coded arcade experience.
Experience the ultimate Arkanoid-reimagining on the Commodore 64! Featuring smooth parallax scrolling, 24 randomized stages, and a unique "Coffee Break" help system.
What makes Rob-Ball unique?
- Parallax Backgrounds: Immerse yourself in the action with multi-layered, smooth-scrolling backgrounds that give the game a sense of depth never before seen in this genre on the C64.
- 24 Randomized Levels: Tired of the same old order? Rob-Ball shuffles all 24 stages every time you play, ensuring no two sessions are ever the same!
- Open Border HUD: We’ve opened the top and bottom borders using sprite-multiplexing to display your score, lives, and level, leaving the entire main screen dedicated to pure gameplay.
- Dynamic Physics: Feel every impact! The paddle reacts physically to the ball, and floating obstacles will test your reflexes to the max.
- The Coffee Break System: Need a breather? Hit the coffee key anytime for an interactive help screen with a steaming cup of coffee. When you're ready, jump right back exactly where you left off.

Update - nevermind - works in Denise
Looks great. Instant buy for me as an Arkanoid-fan. Hint: the 250 Blocks big PRG-file probably will not load on stock OS. Why not using a modern cruncher? With Exomizer I got the filesize down to 65 blocks.
Hmmm - it loads here,,, then only red screen (VICE)
