TIFF Brick-Out for PSP

Posted Oct 11, 2006 at 3:37AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Homebrew Games Tags: Arkanoid, Atari, Sega, Taito, TIFF

SG57 has just released TIFF Brick-Out, an ASCII-based Arkanoid homebrew clone that just happens to be compatible with FW 2.0 - 2.8. For those of you who are totally averse to history lessons, don't worry since it's going to be a one line backgrounder on Arkanoid. Arkanoid is originally an arcade game by Taito (circa 1986) which in turn is a simplified clone of Sega's Gigas and Gigas Mark 2 which were based on Atari's Breakout games from the 70s. We told you it was going to be a one liner.

The gameplay:
You control a small space vessel and your goal is to prevent a ball from falling from the playing field. You must try to bounce it against a number of bricks causing the bricks to disappear. When you succeed in taking out all the bricks you move to the next level which features another set of bricks.

To play TIFF Brick-Out, use the following controls:

D-Pad: Paddle Movement
Start: Pause
HOME: Exit (when paused)
Music Note:Screenshot

The current version of TIFF Brick-Out has three powerups:

Super Ball: Turns your ball "invincible" for a period of time so it goes right through the bricks.
Reverse: Inverts the D-Pad controls. (Left becomes right, and vice versa)
Laser Gun: Mounts one laser right in the middle of your paddle for a period of time. Fire laser with X.

Reported bugs:

Sound is a little delayed
Diagonal collision at the right angle causes a 'super ball' effect
Ball may appear in the paddle when actually dead because of a split second thing where you can move the paddle at a certain moment causing the ball to be on the paddle, but not have any effect

If you find more bugs or cheat codes SG57 would love to hear from you.

# BRICK-out? — w00t 2006-10-11 05:09

I don't know if I want a homebrew with the word brick in it.

# TIFF eLoader for 2.80 — Guest 2006-10-11 05:23

I don't want to sound unthankful but this homebrew is useless,I want new eloader,everyda y I hope that I will see the news on pspupdates.qj about new tiff eloader for 2.80,but nothing new...:-(

Like they gave up from it.

# whoa! — Guest 2006-10-11 07:02

until i actually saw this article i thought someone had released another bricker for 2.71. i was scared... until i remembered that i have a 1.5! =)

gj with teh game tho. im also sorry that a bunch of idiots have posted comments unrelated to the article.

# Gman — Guest 2006-10-11 08:20

if ur so desperate for an eloader why dont u learn c++ your self and start codin leave them alone they can do what they want

# 1.50 4 life — Guest 2006-10-11 09:16

1.50 is still better. all of u who upgraded to 2.80 r n00bs!!! the 1.50 r the real ni.g.g.as

# THIS BRICKED MY PSP — Guest 2006-10-11 10:07

THIS BRICKED MY PSP

# i agree — Guest 2006-10-11 10:14

Yeah that is a really STUPID name for a piece of homebrew.

I read that title as "TIFF Brick out for PSP", as in there is a new TIFF-based bricker out for PSP.

Change the name guys!!

# 2.80 noobs — Guest 2006-10-11 11:02

when are they going too come out with real homebrew games for 2.80?

1.50 is way better!

# hmm — Guest 2006-10-11 11:26

Funny, how many complain no eLoader, instead homebrew is made directly for it. What do you expect ot be played if an eloader is out? homebrew? ironic really...

as for the title, dont judge a book by its cover =-\

Do you really think PSP3D and all the judges of his contest (freeplay is one) would allow a bricking app into there contest?

honestly...

# ... — Guest 2006-10-11 11:56

When that flashing writing appeared i thought my PSP was going to get Bricked. Turns out it was just an advertisement.

# zomg — Guest 2006-10-11 13:07

zomg u still hvent released 1.51 downgrader jesus ive been waiting for years plz hurry the bleepz up

# BRICK? — Guest 2006-10-11 13:18

I agree with w00t. Keep anything that looks smells or feels like a brick the ***** away from my psp.

# sdfsdfsdf — Guest 2006-10-11 16:16

I think we got DS fan boys.

# naw — menace 2006-10-11 16:45

LOL I tried this homebrew .. It wont brick your psp altough it doesnt work sometimes..

# .......? — Guest 2006-10-11 19:10

This Game Is Kinda Slow. When I Try To Move The Paddle To Hit The Ball It Take A While To Get To The Ball. The Ball Is Moving Fast But The Paddle Doesn't.

# cheats — Train04 2006-10-21 04:30

R- for reverse pad
