Found some lovely Pico-8 Arkanoid Clone assets on itch.io:

https://kronbits.itch.io/matriax-free-assets

Haven't done an Arkanoid/BreakOut clone in a while.

So here is one more...

To Do

There are a few bugs with the ball and enemies. Not really game breaking. You can always just quit and restart at the same level.
