"Breakout" is a revamped version of the classic arcade game that offers exciting features like 1 player, 2 player team, or 2 player one-one-one gameplay modes. The game includes power-up bricks that spawn extra balls, black hole bricks that swallow and randomly spit out balls, and also incorporates a new steal ball feature.
This software is a remake of the classic arcade game Breakout, with several new features that enhance gameplay. One of the most notable features is that players can choose to play in 1 player mode, 2 player team mode, or 2 player one-on-one mode where players can even try to steal each other's ball(s)!
Background music is played between games and in the main menu. It fades out as the game starts and in as the game ends, or when the user goes to the menu. The music can easily be turned on or off, depending on your preference. There are also 21 sound effects that enhance the overall gameplay experience.
The app screen size can be changed from within the game itself, all the way up to full-screen kiosk mode, so players can customize their viewing experience. Additionally, the game speed and level speed can be set via sliders, giving players more control over their experience.
Players can also customize the brick layout, with sliders ranging from 3 x 6 all the way up to 10 x 20 rows and columns. Brick styles include regular, black hole (which can swallow balls and spits them out later in a random place), extra life, morph (each ball hit morphs the brick), power (ball go straight through instead of bouncing), solid (no value but randomly messes with ball direction), and spawn (spawns a new ball). The probability and occurrence of each brick style can also be adjusted via sliders.
Paddle size and movement speed for each player can be adjusted individually via sliders as well, allowing players to fine-tune their paddles to their liking. With precise paddle steering, players can control the ball's ricochet angle and speed, adding a level of control to their gameplay.
The game includes a pause and resume option via quick spacebar press, making it easy to save progress and resume later. It also features a classic pinball style score board, providing a touch of nostalgia.
Finally, the game has 10 cool galaxy background images, blending in between levels, adding to the overall aesthetic of the game. Additionally, there is automatic context help text when clicking sliders and buttons, making it easier to navigate the game's various settings.
Overall, this remake of Breakout is a delightful and customizable experience for players of all skill levels.
