About

A brick breaker with eight original layouts, multi-hit and steel bricks, and four capsule power-ups (wide paddle, multi-ball, slow ball and extra life). The return angle depends on where the ball meets the paddle, and the second time through the levels the ball is faster.

Objective: Clear every breakable brick on each level without losing all three balls.
