wished we had more homebrews

You play as one of two Cannonheads- Player 1 is red, Player 2 is blue. Your goal is simple- hit the other player with one of your bombs to knock them into the water! The terrain can be destroyed by your bombs, too. Keep that in mind!
CONTROLS
- Left/Right- move
- Fire- Hold to charge, release to shoot. The longer the charge, the farther your bomb will go.
ONLINE PLAY
You can play online multiplayer with a friend! Click the power icon in the bottom corner of the game screen, then select "Net Play!" to get started.
OPTIONS
The game offers various options that can be changed on the menu. Move your cursor with up and down, change an option with Fire.
- 1P/2P- Play against a CPU or a human opponent, respectively.
- LVL- Selects a level. "?" selects a random preset level. "!" generates a random level.
- WIN- How many wins are needed to win a set.
This game was programmed for the Atari 2600 video game console in assembly, and is running online using Javatari. You can download the game over at https://bluswimmer.itch.io/cannonhead-clash
Hah, this is sweet, great idea, although could use more game 'modes'
(look to Combat or Sea Battle for an example, say you could have differently 'weighted' shots, rubbery boarders, two or three cannons controlled at once per stage, conveyor belts, random flying beasts dropping things on your head, invisible players, shielded, etc...)

Thank you for the suggestions! Unfortunately the game uses up all of the 2600's RAM, so adding more game options would be difficult right now. If I ever remake this game for a modern platform, I'll keep those suggestions in mind.
