This is a great break out game with a lot of twists that you don't see on all break out games.There's not a lot of directions, but then again, who needs them. There is an opening screen, and then there is a combo options and 'what can hurt or help you' list. The first option is background which gives you too choices, black or textured. The ball is one of the tiniest balls I've ever seen, and it is gray. While the textured screen is also in different colors, it is pretty, but it makes the ball REAL hard to see. There are 6 titles, each title has 4 boards. After that it's just a matter of memorizing which falling blocks you want to let catch you and which you want to avoid.

There is a large ball perk, and you can make the bar the largest I've ever seen! It was about 1/3 of the size of the screen at one time. There's also a perk that nets you 8 balls, all at once, which is something else I have never seen.

This is definitely a break out game that you will want. After all it's got plenty of boards, plenty of good stuff, and you just can't beat this price, now can you?
