Another Vic In The Wall

A variant of Breakout - a black screen and an endless procession of coloured wall to smash through. By utilising the rounded ends of the bat, both direction and velocity of the ball are at your command... but only when you have developed the essential expertise.

It looks deceptively easy to play but in fact it is a real challenge. Self-play mode is provided, just in case anyone should decide it is impossible. Obviously the graphics are uncomplicated (still hi-res, though) and the sound effects necessarily basic.

One of my all time favourites; I keep bouncing back for more. 28,000 to beat!
