<description><![CDATA[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!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["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.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[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!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[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!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[After playing the game for a few hours throughout the day, I must retract some of the positives I said about this game. :(  I still think it’s got a lot of potential, but must agree about the lack of ball control and the frustration at spending upwards of 15 minutes trying to get the last few bricks to win a level.  I thought playing it on hard would help somewhat, but it didn't.  The monsters are able to change the trajectory and speed of the ball easily, but the bat has no response apart from using the edges when set on 1, but this is hardly ball control.  

My initial enthusiasm was partly because of the colour, number of power ups, online play as well as a very comprehensive options menu, the ability to play with the computer, a levels editor, (that now seems to be missing) and the end of level monsters. I’d also change the password system because it's a pain having to note them down.

Sadly the lack of ball control destroys this game big time.  I do hope the developer considers updating the game as I really do think with better ball physics this game would be a big winner. Standing up against ‘Acky’s XP Breakout’, ‘Breakquest’, ‘Breakball 2 Gold as well as the more modern games such as the latest in the ricochet series ‘Ricochet Infinity’, ‘Magic Ball 3’ and ‘Reaxxion’ to name a few.  I'll stand by my first impressions if this is accomplished.  That is add this to my top 20 (maybe not in my top ten though as there’s too much strong competition.  Maybe adding a few more power ups such as guided missiles, explosive balls as well as an 8 ball power up and even ball and bat shape changers. You could even add a panel that would enable you to select the frequency of each power up and even turn some off. (like in Breakquest).   

 ....Please sort the ball physics......Magnussoft.]]></description>
