What players think
The recurring themes across 44 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
First off, I really like the graphics.
Pretty much everyone has played a game inspired by Breakout at some point, it’s such a simple formula that’s difficult to get wrong but on the other hand, too many additions to the gameplay can dilute the fun factor and even a slightly misfiring physics engine can completely ruin the gameplay and so there’s a delicate balance to be made.
Was Magic Orbz, the Playstation 3 title which also took Breakout games to new heights (it also had a fantastic co-op mode)by making the in-game ‘table’ more interesting by adding characters, quirky power-ups and different themes in each level.
The one gripe I did have was that I couldn’t find a way to alter the sensitivity of the gamepad which was an issue as it was quite twitchy and took some getting used to (at least that’s my excuse for my dodgy score, and I’m sticking to it), hopefully this feature will be added in future updates.
The graphics have a ‘Borderlands’ feel; colourful, rusty and slightly futuristic (coincidentally, also the names my three pet vultures) which are crisp and backed by a great cyberpunk ambient sound track which frequently changes throughout the game, adding audio variety to the proceedings.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
