Not recommended. Any of the Hyperballoid games are better. Try this: http://www.bigfishgames.com/download-games/1745/hyperballoid-golden-pack/index.html

Oh and "SherlockHolmes", there is nothing more infantile than someone ELSE complaining about OTHER PEOPLE complaining. Where does the hypocrisy stop on these comment boards for GGOTD? The whole "don't say anything if you've nothing nice to say" idea is a load of BS and you all know it. This site is for game developers to find out what is WRONG with their games. It isn't a site for game developers to have their egos stroked and be lied to about the actual quality of their products. How about this: if you don't like reading comments of people complaining about the quality of the games, why not just stop reading them, or better yet, stop visiting the site altogether? It really does fix the problem for everyone. You won't be bothered by us "whiners" and we won't be bothered by people like you who hypocritically bash others for no reason other than to do exactly what you are condemning them for: complaining.

Welcome back! You were missed.

Now for the game.....It froze up my computer so badly I had to umplug it. I removed it. Sorry....one of the few times I have had that type of problem with a game here.

WhiteRabbit aka Stephen (#67) - Simple: You don't make it yourself, you ask someone else knowledgeable in the area to do it. Swan made hers entirely herself, and look out it turned out: a 44-character hostname (the base URL), a basic theme, crap strewn all over the page, and various scripts distracting the visitor, and her pages are FAR from validating.
Personally, I'd be writing reviews myself if BladedThoth hadn't come around first, and if I were interested in all these titles (most don't interest me, so how much use would I be if I only showed up every now and then?), and if I had the time (I already have projects to maintain ;>).

very nice game a different venue and a little hectic but fun and a good time passer. would recommend this game to any one, well worth the price offered for , expected it to be 19.99 so for 14.99 would be a good deal for any gamer to pay ,... Have played it enough to give a decent report , grows on you for sure. yes it would and is a good time passer would purchase it for 20 bucks so the price is a good deal at 14.99 would be a nice addition to ones collection of games . And welcome back to the world of work and making money for the hoiday seasons . Hope that your time away from work was all you expected and know that you will be looking toward next year.

I don't really like all the comments that just say 'Welcome Back' but

I feel I must give one, I was after all, so sure that you were not going to return that I began to get very annoyed at your promises to return, but as you did, I have to say, Welcome Back guys, I normally enjoy your games (unless they have Double in the name) and I look forward to new companies you may have picked up.

WELCOME BACK!!!! So glad to see the games up and running. I like arkanoid games and this is no exception. It is a bit challenging to get used to and figure it all out, but I LOVE the graphics. The moving objects in the playing field definitely up the challenge level. Can't wait to see tomorrow's giveaway!

Thanks and welcome back!

Great to see you back. You've been missed.

I like Arkanoid games. Don't even mind that it's retro. Probably would look better on a 12" screen, though. This one froze a bit too easy on my computer. Pity.

I'm not an arkanoid clone fan, so I'm not really interested in todays game download - However, I would like to add a note to GGAOTD.

Welcome back! I hope you had a nice vacation!

Looking forward to tomorrows giveaway. (Game, and App.)

Thanks for your free services to the community.

Dude.

Thankx. Boy, Does this bring back memories, I MUST dig out my old Amiga A500.
Again Thanx GGAOTD.
p.s.
1000 Thjumbs Up at least.

Hi Margie comment #28. I'd be willing to give it a go. I've probably got most arcade games that have been released over the past year or so. However; I do enjoy reviewing games. I have plenty of time usually. So contact me on:

WhiteRabbit-uk (at) hotmail.co.uk

If the Game Giveaway team decide to delete the Email, please write to them for it as i give them permission to send it to you upon request. :)

PS
I'd do something smilar to Swan if I knew how to set up a good looking web site. :) although I think once you feel you have to earn money from doing it, it no longer becomes fun. Still. If it works out I could save up for a quad core cpu, lol. :)

Hey #8, it's better than your whining about me whining about the whiners.

Hurrah! Good to see you back!
..but I'm passing on today's game, as it's not my style. But thanks for offering it! :D

Hello everyone!

I’ve posted today’s review - I hope you all enjoy reading it! Comments are always welcome.

Swan Reviews (Almost!) Everything
~ Swan

“The day will come when machines and software will tell us whom to know; what to eat; what to wear; when to go to work and what profession to pursue; when to sleep; what entertainments to enjoy and with whom to have any kind of relationship. It can’t be avoided and you will succumb.”

I take it back, this is a different arkenoid and its just ok

Ye ha there back and with one of my favorite games. Lost it a year or so ago but now I have it again. Two great things happening in one day!

I still have this game from the previous offer, but I appreciate the re-post. Obviously, there are people here now who weren't here then. A good re-post is better than a lousy new-post.

Glad you're back.

Thanks GAOTD! You was missed! Hope you had a wonderful fun filled vacation!! And welcome back!!!!

so glad to see you are back. hopw you had a great vacation. Keep the good work up. Missed you

Welcome back! We missed you.

This is a worthwhile download. Nice graphics and controls. Lots of variables that make it different from regular Arkanoid-type games.

Nice Game. I've seen better clones of Araknoid, but this does seem to play well on my machine. I wonder what ~Swan thinks?

Welcome back from Vacation GOTD! Keep 'em coming!

Welcome back ! I enjoy this type of game and am about to try it out.

Welcome back...I missed you guys and appreciate all you do. You guys are great.

Oh wait... I got the mouse to move around. If you have "Sticky Password" installed from GAOTD then it might ask you to allow BlahBlahBlah.dll

Welcome 'home' fellas,

Great to see both sites are up. Yapee.......! Hope you guys been having a wonderful vacation.

This game doesn't seem to want to work on my computer. I saw a few people saying it works on Vista, but it won't work my Vista Ultimate computer. I'm not sure what's up with it. The main menu loads and then that's it. I can't move any mouse and I can't use the up/down buttons to select anything.

sooooooo glad this is back. the weekend games were not as good as som eof these games

Good that you're back!:) I don't like this game but I hope next one will be better:) The most important thing - YOU'RE BACK:)
PS. GameOverGames has got much more intresting games:) Try to negotiate with them;)

It's great to see the games side has returned. Welcome back guys. You have been missed. Not a lot to add about this game that has not been said already. It seems like an older game but it is quite fun and enjoyable to play. Thank you to GGAOTD and of course the publisher GameOver Games for this offering. It is greatly appreciated.

welcome back. thnaks for the games, but please give games that is vista certified.

Wow! It was good to see you back from vacation this morning. So glad yu guys are back. Hope you enjoyed it.

Thank you for my favorite type game as the GGAOTD. This is one of those games I have a hard time stopping once I start playing it.

I did have to download the game twice to get it to install. The first time said my zip file was empty? Anyway, I downloaded again and it was perfect....installed and activated first try. I enjoyed the game so much, I didn't even notice the graphics some of the comments were speaking of.

By the way, I agree with a couple of the other guys and would like to see the rating system for the comments also on the GGAOTD! It helps me to filter out the comments I think would help me. Yet, I do read most of the comments, even the whiners. LOL I also get aggravated with them at times but still read (go figure! LOL).....and yes, there is a difference between constructive criticism and an irritating comment!

Anyway, it is so great to have you guys back!! Thanks again for one of my favorite type games!!

Welcome back GGAOTD and ty Gameover Games for the game haven't played an araknoid like this before to where it keeps advancing without breaking all the blocks. One thing that would have been nice is to have it in window mode and not full screen.

Thanks for the game guys! I downloaded and installed it. It ran just fine on my computer. The game itself was quite simple and basic. However, I enjoyed the break from the complicated games I normally play. I will be keeping this one in my files. At least for my 8 year old to play. He enjoys these sort of games. Thanks again and welcome back!

Uh, forgot to add: Thanks! And welcome back. :)

This was a fairly enjoyable game, with a few interesting features (like the shop and the scrolling levels). Nice music, too. As others have pointed out it could have had much better collision detection. I'm not sure how successful the scrolling levels were either.

I'd say this is worth trying, but it's no BreakQuest or Megaball.

Clicking on your main page and seeing that you guys are back from vacation made this a very good day for someone who hasn't had to many of those this year. I really missed your daily game choices and the fact that it was you who provided the one computer game my husband will play (Brickshooter Egypt, he loves it and plays for at least an hour every day) makes me look forward to seeing each new day's game choice in the hopes of finding another game he will love.
Welcome back, hope you had a great summer and thanks a million for everything. from a grateful fan

Welcome Back!!!! Thank you for all the free games, good or bad. You guys do an awesome job. Thank you.

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL WELCOME BACK U GUYS!!! HOPE YA HAD A GREAT SUMMER!!! NEXT TIME TELL US HOW LONG YA GOING TO TAKE!! LOL THANK YOU FOR DA GAME!!! :-) AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW ME HAPPY NOW!!! LOL

I hope you enjoyed your holidays and thanks that you are online now. :)

This is a re-offer: I've already downloaded this game a few month ago on this site!

Welcome back!!!!

Welcome back, guys! It was so nice to see new stuff in my feed reader from GGOTD this morning!

I already have this one from when it was given away previously, but I look forward to new games really soon!

I am so ecstatic the team is back from vacation I feel like doing hand springs. Never could do those tho so I guess I will just have to say, Welcome Back!!!

Thank you for this offering.

#23... I am sure Sherlock Holmes isn't calling people who offer constructive criticism infantile whiners. Your post on the game's shortcomings was good to read. I like hearing what other people experience when they try out a game so I know whether to give it serious consideration or not. There is nothing wrong with constructive criticism. I understand exactly what #1 is referring to, the people who complain about games they don't download and try, who complain about the game and give it a bad rating just cause they don't like the offering and have a sense of entitlement. It is my hope that this vacation the team took will have winnowed those folks out of the comments section. It was irritating beyond belief. I agree that #20's suggestion of the rating system for comments here has merit. I would like to see that also.

Oh, I can barely contain my joy! Game Giveaway of the Day is back!!! Hoorah!

Welcome Back!! I hope you enjoyed your vacation and are well rested. I'm looking forward to getting some wonderful games. Thanks for this excellent site.

Welcome Back!
This game isnt my thing, but look forward to all the great games coming in the future....
The month plus this site wasnt updated made for the longest month ever!

hi, installed the game on win2k; seems a font is missing, get squares on the start screen on the selection rocks. can anybody help?

Hi Guys:
Welcome back GGOTD! I can't help but wonder where all those people, who repeatedly posted those derisive, negative comments about you guys not ever coming back (and how dumb everyone who retained their faith in your web site returning must be,) are today? I'm delighted to see them proven wrong... I, like everyone else here this morning, am really glad to see you're back on line again. I think it is safe to say you were sorely missed... I am looking forward to utilizing your proposed improvements to this site whenever you unvail them. Keep up the good work guys, you're the greatest!

Welcome back, folks!

Welcome back! Thanks so much for doing this on a daily basis! Any chance we could get another shot at the "Hacker:Evolution" game from April? Got a new laptop over the summer and need it again.
