Heponoid is a brick breaker set in deep space. Guide your ship along the bottom of the field, keep the ball in play and clear every brick across four worlds: Outer Rim, Nebula, Asteroid Belt and Dark Matter. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Relax: no lives and no pressure. A lost ball comes straight back to your ship. Play any level you have opened and beat the clock for up to three stars. • Arcade: a run through a whole world on three lives. Your score carries from level to level, and your best run in each world is kept. Lose the last life and you can spend one of your stars to continue. ELEVEN PRIZE SPHERES Some bricks drop a glowing sphere when they break. Catch it with your ship: • Wide and Small change the size of your ship • Guns mount two cannons that fire at the bricks • Triple splits the ball into three • Piercing sends the ball straight through bricks, stone included • Magnet holds the ball on your ship until you launch it again • Radar steers the ship for you • Slow and Fast change the speed of the ball • Remote turns the ball around in flight • Extra Ball gives you one more life 41 LEVELS Every level of the original Heponoid is back, rebuilt with glossy neon bricks, armoured bricks that take several hits and stone that only a piercing ball can break.
