For a £0.79 game, MadCowBalls 2 is well worth buying; especially if you enjoy playing 2D breakout/arkanoids. It looks quite amateurish if you just look at the graphic; however, not only has the developer been updating the game regularily since its release in October 2019 to add new ideas to the game; e.g. the last update was November 2021 when the Boss update was added. This creates bosses using a random algorithm that adds different bosses using a selection from thirteen different boss elements; for example, these elements include speed up bricks that cause your ball to move faster, a homing stun weapon that paralyses your bat temporarily, spikes that if hit by your ball, destroy it, as well as lots more such as brick re-generators etc. Each boss created is very unlikely to be exactly the same as previous bosses you've encountered in game due to the randomised nature of how the bosses are created. Also, and this is a big also, it has some original features not see...
