This arcade game involves using a mouse to move a bat and bouncing a ball to destroy blocks for points. The game offers a high score table and suspend save feature, as well as other extra features.
This software is a modern take on the traditional arcade game. The objective is to prevent a bouncing ball from falling off the playfield by moving a bat with your mouse. The ball will destroy blocks and score points, clearing the playfield to proceed to the next level.
As you play, random items will appear on the screen. Some of these items can be useful, while others may have a painful effect. With 15 different levels, there is a lot to explore and enjoy in this game.
One helpful feature of the game is the password system. This allows you to start at later stages right away, which includes some additional surprises. There is also a high score list to keep track of your achievements.
If the scoring aspect of the game isn't of interest to you, there is an alternate non-arcade mode available. This mode disables scoring and limits the progress lost when running out of balls. Additionally, both modes allow you to suspend a game in progress.
Before starting a game, you have the ability to adjust the number of balls available to make the game more tolerant of mistakes. Overall, this software is a fun and modern update to a classic arcade game experience.
