Many will play but few will conquer all 27 levels. Catch falling capsules (Avoid the Red X's!), collect the hidden fruits and veggies, control the Umphee, discover the secret of the pearl, enjoy 80 minutes of original music, fill the treasure chest (!!), master the bonus levels, get a high score, graffiti the sand, avoid the bubbles and STAY ALIVE! Will you become a MacBrickout expert? Some fun things to try: - Try juggling 3 balls long enough to earn a juggling achievement - See if you can blow up the Umphee (the little creature that lives on the sand) with the bomb ball - Don't let any bubbles touch the sand for 3 levels in a row. You'll get a clean sand achievement. - Hit the Umphee with an orange ball. He will dig down in the sand and fetch you a coin. - Catch two clear capsules in a row to make the clam appear If you like MacBrickout, try these modest in-app purchases: 1) Unlock full version (This is a must-have! You get free balls, bomb balls, lasers, bonus levels, musical bricks, hidden fruits & veggies and much more) 2) Unlock all levels (faster than trying to unlock them one by one) 3) Super Umphee Ball 5-pack (great way to blast through a tough level) Follow on Twitter: @MacBrickout and @CarsonWhitsett Reviews: "MacBrickout is riddled with originality from the accompanying soundtrack to the level designs, but at the same time offers the familiarity of the classic game." - AppCraver 5/31/2012 (Rating: 9 out of 10) "If you think you’ve seen every variation there is of Breakout, you obviously haven’t broken into MacBrickout." - 4.5/5 stars - whatsOniPhone 7/2012 "I find MacBrickout delightfully retro and a pure pleasure to play" - The iPhone App Review (4.5 stars of 5) "The challenge may be tough but remember when the going gets tough the tough get MacBrickout!" - iPhoneGlance.com 6/2012 AppSafari rating: 4.5/5 Some of my favorite user reviews: "It's like when they remade Tron.

Warm reboot doesn’t help fix the crash. Oh well, time to free up a little storage space. ### 3/5 — So much potential *2021-12-13, version 2.2.2* I want to love this game but unfortunately the developer has mistaken annoyances for fun. Things like illogical bounces and over bombardment of bubbles along with being forced to take poison pills because the ball somehow magically ends up in the same spot as the ball make this game more frustrating than fun. I am up for a challenge but when the algorithm is controlling the ball more than you are it’s no longer a game of skill as much as it is luck. ### 1/5 — Lose your game if pausing *2021-04-20, version 2.2.2* Your current game and score will magically disappear if you pause and turn off the screen, meaning you cannot stop playing if you want to unlock later levels and making high scores irrelevant. ### 1/5 — MacBrickout *2020-11-12, version 2.2.1* I paid for these games & the screen was frozen after the first level ### 1/5 — Full version? *2020-04-12, version 2.1.1* I paid 4.99 for the full version but all levels past the seventh are still locked. ### 5/5 — Current version crashes *2018-08-21* (Updated version crashed) I love MacBrickout! Played for years on my Mac. Game play translated very well to mobile. Loads quickly. Such a well designed game. So much variability yet room for skill to affect outcome. Classic game - very glad to see mobile version <3 ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2018-07-27* Amazing! Really good, but how can I be able to play the full version on the Mac? I got the old hardware for it.. **Developer response:** Updated Mac version is in development now! ### 5/5 — Good but is missing mania and 3.0 levels *2018-07-23, version 2.1.1* I don’t get it there are 3.0 levels and mania levels in the pc version but not the iOS version but I am not in the mood to find and place a register file to play those levels so please add them to the iOS version and this game is up with my top brick breakers which are not counting this game bashi blocks all 5 brick breaker revolution games a brick breaker with a hand drawn art style and unique gimmicks that I forget the name of so you made a good game so please add in the mania and 3.0 levels and update the pc version to 5.0 ### 5/5 — Old school Player *2018-07-01, version 2.1.1* I’ve been playing this game since the version 3.0 days. Please bring the 3.0 and Mania levels to the mobile platform. I’m sticking to your old 4.2.3 version on my PC because it’s fully loaded with all the old levels in it. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2016-07-17, version 2.0* I have been a fan of this game for a long time. I am glad to see it make it to the iDevices. My only complaint, or maybe I don't see it, I can't resume where I left off. I hate to have to start over every single time. Fix that and I will give it ten stars. Also I can't add my name to the highest scores. No matter where I click I am not able to enter my name. Hopefully you are still looking at these reviews. Best brickout game out there. ## Frequently asked questions about MacBrickout ### What is MacBrickout? MacBrickout is a brick-breaking arcade game that offers a fresh take on the classic genre.
