Pretty good breakout/arkanoid clone. Much better than Twixoid that was released a couple of days later.

I like “bat and ball” type games but this is EXTREMELY boring. Little or no control over ball return direction and angle. Completing the 3rd level (leggos) is about as exciting as watching grass grow. Horrible boring gameplay. I’ve downloaded several games from GOTD, but this is the first one so bad that I’ve uninstalled before the end of the first day. Boring boring boring!

What a let down. I love Arkanoid type games but this one is pretty bad, poor graphics and random ball physics. No fun.

Sorry, but this game is completely unplayable in Windows Vista (I am using Ultimate, but I doubt that makes a difference). It loads the MangusSoft welcome screen, and then crashes, forcing you to end it manually from the Task Manager or ‘program has stopped responding’ prompt.

“Classic features” is right! They musta been talkin about “Pong”.
Sorry magnussoft, I really wanted to like this game but it is depressing. The only enjoyment I got out of it was when the monsters got me because that meant the end was a little closer.

I found the level editor here:

I almost passed on this, but thought I would at least try it as I like this type of game. I’m finding it pretty fun. The falling goodies require a knowledge of what they will do… some will really mess up your bat and make using it much harder, but ones like the flying duck will allow you to have lots of fun and control as your bat can fly. The game graphics are bright and attractive and the sound is good. I’m glad I tried this game; I haven’t experienced any problems as yet and I’m really looking forward to exploring the level editor. Thanks!

Thanks, GAOTD… I’m not really a fan of arkanoids, but this one didn’t bore my socks off right off, as some do. Don’t know why some are complaining about the bat, as I can hit the ball in all directions with no problem, tho I’m sure some that are collectors that have games that are more responsive. But I didn’t notice anything strange about the bat. I left all the settings at their default, and I did notice one about making your own levels, which is “off” by default. (someone asked about that above) Not a game I’ll play all the time, but one I’ll keep for a bit! So thanks again!

Poor movement, bad gameplay, sat watching the ball do nothing…uninstalled.
