After having found great success on arcade, the most famous clone of Breakout arrives on Amiga.
By moving the paddle horizontally across the bottom of the screen, you must make a ball rebounce to destroy one by one all the (destructible) bricks of the stage. The ball speeds up as you break bricks, sometimes releasing a bonus that you must catch with your bat. The effect varies depending on the type of bonus represented by a letter: extending the racquet (e), slowing the ball (s), ball sticking to the bat (c), 3 balls (d), lasers (l) , move to the next level (b) or extra life (p). To complicate matters, small critters fall from the top of the table and can change the trajectory of the ball.
