Star Ball

Fast paced arkanoid remake

If you loved Arkanoid then you'll enjoy Star Ball. The scene is the edge of the galaxy where deep within an ancient culture you'll find an ancient artifact known as Star Ball.

Your quest is to find this artifact but it's protected by a rock solid wall of bricks. However, the Star Ball contains ancient knowledge that mankind has forgotten and needs to remember if it is to save itself. During your mission, you pilot a spaceship equipped with gravity shields and weaponry on your way to rescuing the Star Ball. Along the way, you'll find many many power-ups, such as laser guns, missiles, plasma balls, fire balls and much more. The powerups are probably the most entertaining past or the game in fact - there's so many to choose from and watching them go off is a real buzz. The music is also pretty cool although it gets a bit repetitive after a while. The other problem is that the numerous powerups end up making the game too easy - if you collect enough, you can complete the game pretty quickly by steaming through the bricks.

Nice gameplay and soundtrack but this game could do with less powerups and more challenges than just a few bricks.
