Rico Rite

Rico Rite is a roguelike built on the Breakout formula. The player controls a paddle, while the balls act as heroes that fight on their own as they bounce around the screen. Each ball has its own attack, range and cooldown: one causes bleeding on contact, another throws blades, and another heals the player. On every level up, the player drafts an additional hero from a pool of 20.

Rather than static rows, bricks arrive in swarms that drift steadily towards a line just above the paddle. Any brick that crosses this line costs the player a heart, and only five are available. Destroying bricks quickly builds a combo meter that increases speed, but the meter drains rapidly when the player stops scoring kills.

The game includes 11 paddles, each with distinct abilities and playstyles, along with powerups that can be caught or bounced. A boss appears at wave 10, after which play continues in an endless mode.
