An excellent Arkanoid clone featuring 30 unique levels. The graphics favour a vivid, bright colour palette and each level employs a new background. As in Arkanoid, players hit a ball with a paddle to break bricks further up the screen. Certain bricks contain power-ups that drop down. A player must catch these power-ups to use them. Silver bricks are unbreakable. Various enemies try to block the player's ball from hitting it's destination. As time goes on the ball speeds up, increasing the difficulty of hitting it.

Power-ups:
Yellow: Slow ball
Green: Catch bal
Blue: Wide paddle
Turquoise: 3 balls
White: ???
