Features the elements you’d expect from this style of game: - Accurate collision detection - Special effect bricks Plus the following innovations: - The game is in 3D - which is used as a gameplay element. The 3D elements are activated and adjusted when they are hit by a ball (first occurs at level 21) - An initial puck trajectory, displayed when launching a ball, enables the player to determine the best position from where to start the new ball - Bullet pucks – a temporary ball that can be fired by touching the screen: an initial launch trajectory is displayed to help the player to decide when to fire. (first occurrence level 41) - Obscuration features – when destroyed, some bricks temporarily obscure the players view of the playing area. Warning - The game features graphical effects that flash the screen. Do not play if you suffer an adverse reaction to such events.
