This game is a pretty fun take on Breakout. It can get rather intense but that's precisely part of the charm, actually. I enjoy not only that about the gameplay but I also admire the very fascinating and colorful, if somewhat minimalist, visual style. The music and sound design feels somewhat similar, minimalist yet rather appealing, especially since sometimes the soundtrack feels as if it's syncing with the brick-breaking gameplay. The game itself feels like both a unique twist on classic Breakout as well a subtle love letter to the developer's (Choice Provisions) roots, back when they made BIT.TRIP BEAT. (a game I also love, obviously enough) The campaign is long enough such that it feels worth the buy, (especially when it's on sale) and the score-chasing gameplay coupled with an endless mode adds to the replay value. There are only a few criticisms I have for the game: while using mouse controls for it feels good and useful enough, playing it with a controller's joysticks doesn't...

About This Game
Breakout is back! Choice Provisions (Bit.Trip) has flipped the legendary series on its head. Or rather side. In this neon-drenched take on the classic, you’ll need to literally break through each puzzle by clearing bricks to breach the final goal. Longer play will rack up a combo and increase the intensity of the effects creating a spectacular light show as a reward for the most skilled players.
Special blocks will grant an edge like large brick-clearing blasts, a barrier that’ll save your ball, and a laser cannon to clear a path. Each one will reward players with dazzling dynamic effects that create an excitement that hasn’t been seen in Breakout before.
Each of the 72 levels will push your skills to the limit, but you won’t be without help. A focus mode will allow you to slow down time at the expense of your score. Or, if you want some help and company, you can tag in a friend to play through the entire game in local two-player co-op.
