City Brick Out
Read full descriptionHide full description
We spent our childhood and youth playing these brick-breaking game series. Breakout (1976), Arkanoid (1986), Krakout (1987), DX-Ball (1996)... To take us back to those good old days of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and to bring this beautiful game genre back to life for today's game lovers, we've prepared City Brick Out for you. Our game consists of one hundred levels featuring the world's best cities. To identify which city it is, you need to clear the bricks that block the view. Let's see if your country or city is among our levels... If you're playing on your computer, you can use your mouse or your keyboard's arrow keys to control your stick. If you're playing on a mobile device, you can tilt or tap. You start the game with three lives, and you gain one every 500 points. Once you've destroyed all the bricks, you'll move on to the next city.
