There are many Breakout clones around. It’s a simple game to learn and its pretty fun to play. This particular version relies on simplicity and visual cues as its main hook.

Through the levels, the pick-ups you find will usually look much the same – a square with a coloured dot in the middle. Keep track of which dot does what, because they will all trigger something different which will happen to your paddle or ball.

There can be very little said about Breakout clones that hasn’t been said about others and this is no exception. The ball is fairly easy to control most of the time, however when the speed increases, the falling “shadow” of the knocked-out bricks can become a distraction. However, it is simple, basic and delivers what it promises.
