There's no prize for guessing the object of this game, it's the
traditional Breakout although this version does have a couple of
added features.
You begin the game with five balls and by bouncing one individual
ball repeatedly at the wall you try and break through it. The points
awarded increase by ten with each panel you penetrate. There's also
a bonus of one ball for every screen cleared.
With a choice of two bat sizes, small or large and two ball
release speeds, fast and slow, you can move slowly into the top
bracket. By using the two cursor keys for left and right movement
and the space-bar for ball-release, you can start your assault on the
wall.
The small bat/fast ball combination made an interesting session,
because the reaction of the bat to the fast ball could not keep
up the pace and caused mild frustrations.
The reflections and spins on the ball when bounced off the
wall were quite deceptive a bit like playing big-bad John and
certainly added some spice to the game.
In the middle of another game an irritating yellow block
shadowed the ball around the screen, giving the impresison that
perhaps a bug was present.
