Some really neat ideas for a Breakout clone. But it is tough. I like the visuals and the sound effects are excellent! C64 has some different elements and is even harder. So I definitely prefer this version. Recommended!

This is a fun Arkanoid / Breakout inspired game. Think progressive Super Breakout, Mixed with Arkanoid. The playfield and bricks scroll down on each level very slowly as you progress. You start out with a toy filled barrier under your paddle that will go away as fire balls drop to hit it. The graphics and sounds are not on par with Arkaniod, but the fun sure is.

Good Break Out/Arkanoid clone with scrolling playfield (vertical). Amiga version have different title screen.
