Gameplay

20 of 234 sampled reviews raised it
The developers have done an amazing job with this game - there are so many features, and everything from the graphics to the music, and especially the gameplay, makes this such a fun and challenging game to play...extra challenging when you have to pick up a death skull and your ball at the same time, or when you are on level 49 on your last life....
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 234 sampled reviews raised it
That soundtrack got you covered until the game decides to thunder that uncomfortable bricks to oblivion.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 234 sampled reviews raised it
With new powerups (and the removal of some that felt kind of redundant like Ice Ball), new boards, better graphics and what seems to be a faster/smoother engine this game is a treasure.
