Ultranium is a fast, neon-lit brick breaker set in deep space. Bounce the ball off your paddle, smash through 100 hand-built levels of blocks, and fight your way across the galaxy. Pure arcade. No timers, no complicated rules — just you, the paddle and the ball. 100 HAND-BUILT LEVELS Every level is designed by hand, not generated. The difficulty curve is real: the first worlds teach you the angles, the last ones will make you sweat. POWER-UPS THAT CHANGE THE GAME • Multi-ball — flood the screen with balls • Laser cannons — shoot the blocks directly • Fireball — burn straight through entire rows • Magnet — catch the ball and aim your next shot • Flying ship — leave the bottom of the screen behind BUILT FOR ONE HAND Slide your thumb to move the paddle. That is the whole control scheme — no buttons, no menus in your way. Play standing on the bus or lying on the couch. PLAYS ANYWHERE No connection needed. The full game runs offline — on a plane, in the metro, in the middle of nowhere. GAME CENTER Leaderboards and achievements. Compare your score with players worldwide and hunt the ones you are missing. Ultranium has been an arcade series since the early days of the Mac, rebuilt from the ground up for iPhone and iPad with new graphics, new effects and a new soundtrack.
