About This Game

Easy to learn, hard to become a master.
Darkanoid is a 21st century update of the challenging, frantically paced block-breakers of old. Enter the void and fight your way through a hardcore gaming experience from the heyday of action arcade games.
The game features two main modes.





Classic mode is a painful trial in the best tradition of the genre.
There are currently 40 levels and 4 Bosses. This will prove more than enough if you're willing to move beyond the easiest difficulty. Choose from 3 different levels of difficulty - Noob, Padawan and Master. How much of a challenge you are looking for?
In order to give you some hope of victory, we've included 11 different special effects and power-ups. Some will make the game easier, some will be challenging to use, and one will be dangerous even to you.
Your firegun and shield will be your main tools in Darkanoid. To give you an idea of the harshness of space, we've also added Teleports and Flying Blocks.
What would you say to a double-platform on the BONUS levels?
BONUS levels are located at the other end of a wormhole, but of course it's not *that* easy. First you must find the chip key and defeat the boss guarding the wormhole.
Black Zone engineers worked for many cycles to provide Cosmic Aid, a second chance for your platform if things don't go smoothly. Visit the Store to customize your platform with a unique upgrade. Of course for all these improvements, you'll need Darkens, which are hidden inside the hardest blocks and on BONUS levels.





In Survival mode, you must break through a wave of blocks, drones and bosses, all moving towards you. Your task is to survive as long as possible. You start with one life, and can only earn additional lives by defeating a Boss.
Will you survive to approach the outer limits of the Dark Zone? Survival mode also includes two unique power-ups: Entropy and Kelvin Zero.

In a nutshell:
- 2 game modes
- 40 levels in Classic mode
- adaptive wave system in Survival mode
- 3 levels of difficulty in Classic mode
- 11 different power-ups available – hit them and they'll activate immediately
- Teleports and Drones to increase the challenge
- BONUS levels available in Classic mode
- platform shield with one-click activation
- default firegun, plus three big weapons to unlock
- unique resource – Darkens
- 13 skins, each with its own upgrade
- Steam achievements

[h1]«Darkanoid»[/h1] [b]Darkanoid is the remake of the classic Arkanoid only with enhanced, colorful, detailed graphics. You control a paddle and destroy bricks. Knocking out all the bricks moves you to the next level. Special bricks release power-ups boosters from wider paddles to the ball splitter.[/b] Gameplay: https://youtu.be/_cbeMB8I6DY The controls are both simple and streamlined. You can move your paddle with the mouse. You can also tweak the mouse sensitivity in the options menu. The mouse works better than the controller and gives more smooth, responsive experience; it needs to so you can enjoy the game. + Great graphics and music. + Excellent game physics and mechanics. + Sci-Fi atmosphere. + Simple control. + Dynamic gameplay. + Achievements.

Not a bad dynamic arcade game. Quite difficult, often have to replay levels. Unpretentious graphics, but pleasing to the eye. Many levels, there are various bonuses + bosses. I think that to kill time Darkanoid is definitely the best.

Darkanoid is the same old school game from the nineties that you or your parents may have played. The gameplay is not unusual: you go through simple levels, sometimes you get bosses as a bonus. The usual, but appropriate graphics, soundtrack throughout the game and a bit of nostalgia for old games. It's all about Darkanoid.

Oh yeah! the best version of the great arkanoid. The one-man added to the collection. Classic with modern graphics, I think that there will be no better versions, except maybe some kind of 3D mod) but still I think the limit has been reached and there is no better option than this one) --------- --------- ------ --- ----- - --- ----- --- . _

Talk about knocking out of the park with your first Steam game for the developer!! WOW!! Darkanoid is a very well coded and oozing with quality outer space brick breaker with furious arcade action and two very different game modes to test your reflexes and challenge your hand-eye coordination! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvwy6c7JrTo I've easily played over a hundred brick breaker games in my life, and this is easily one of the five best of all time for me! That's no small feat, but this game delivers! 9.5 out of 10 is my score! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED with my Zaxtors Indie Gold Award! ..Well done to the developer(s) of this indie gem!

Not a bad arcade game, I've played quite a lot of them. I liked that there are 2 modes, survival and classic There are various mechanics that I have not seen in other similar games. I go to cool my ass after the skating rink in the dota, but sometimes it happens that it burns even more) Nice picture and relaxed sound, I advise you to play, especially for arcade lovers)
