Worst of the Atari "Recharged" games so far
It is a solid Breakout clone. That's the best to say about it. Bricks are only some "neon" lines, very minimalistic. Unfortunately the effects (especially the explosion bricks) are so intense that there is a good chance you'll lose you sight of the ball. If bricks explode near the bottom of the screen this can lead to frustrating situations. And yes, you can switch off screen shaking and such, but not the glut of pixels that overlays the ball. The gameplay is simple Breakout. The power up bricks are not innovative at all and unfortunately some are badly designed. Unfortunately there are challenges designed around these power ups. E.g. the rail gun: you catch it and it fires one second later automatically. You cannot control it! Now think about an "ufo" containing of 20 bricks with a rail gun brick in every second row. The "ufo" descend every two seconds and as soon it hits the bottom of the screen you'll lose. You have to use every one of these guns to destroy it in time. At start you have maybe three chances to hit the first power up with the ball (otherwise the "ufo" is too low anyway) and then you must catch the gun and be at the correct place to destroy another row containing the next gun one second later. This is the sequence of this challenge. You miss one gun and you'll lose because the "ufo" descends so fast. But chances are high that you'll miss a gun when you must catch the ball at another place at the same time you should catch the gun or when it fires automatically. 4 guns for one "ufo" and 6 "ufos" to reach the 5000 points for the challenge! That's nearly 50 times the possibility that the ball interferes with your gun sequence. You'll need insane luck to win something like that. It's not skill... it's pure luck! And unfortunately there are more of these "do something over and over to reach 5000 points" challenges. But you can skip only two which leads very soon to a challenges dead end. Arkanoid has done the Breakout pimp much better 30 years ago...
