Magical Brickout

For a game in early access, it shows promise. The game is also priced appropriately at $5. I will say that the game is extremely difficult. While I was able to clear through the early access levels in 30 minutes, getting a 3 Star score on every level would be VERY difficult, but perhaps that's the point. I say difficult because learning to rotate the playing field and calculate ricochet angles in your head, all while trying to hit objective bricks and powerups and avoiding debuffs, can get overwhelming. I guess theoretically one could get very good at the control scheme, but I can't imagine myself doing it. Still, worth keeping an eye out. The game field does rotate smoothly (though I wish there was an option to make it turn more quickly, art style is good, the polish is passible though not excellent, and the music is actually surprisingly stellar. The lack of a quick reset button was infuriating though.

This game is pretty interesting as a person who grew up playing games like Breakout and Super Breakout this game offers a interesting variation of those classic games which I find worthy. The music is upbeat and the game does have a interesting story so far. Granted at the time of this review this game is still in early access so there maybe changes in the future. As of this time the game is quite fun and is worth checking out.

Hello all. Under Ubuntu 14.04 there are keyboard control problem.

Tags: Casual - Brickbreak & Pinball Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: I like the game but it seems to have a hundred and one minor problems that all add up quickly to make the experience miserable. Recommend you go play Shatter instead. http://store.steampowered.com/app/20820/Shatter/ Game detected Xbox360 pad correctly but used Player2 for Player1. Otherwise the granular control of the paddle felt difficult, the discs you are rotating are fairly small and the precision required is fairly high. Using keyboard did not feel any better. There is no sensitivity slider for the controller. Otherwise the assets for tiles were rather ugly. The visual novel/narrative aspect felt extremely amateur. The music was too epic and some of the sound effects sounded oddly dated. Like old edition of windows magicky bling sounds. The ball sometimes bounced at odd angles from the paddle probably detecting angles that are not really visually obvious as rendered. The game tries hard, it spawns bricks in the form of shapes of things related to the story and tosses a bunch of special bricks you gotta go for at priority to win the level. The discs idea was interesting but it feels less intuitive than to just have the classic formula.

Actually not half as bad as it may look like, or whatever first impressions you might have. But still not great, it's still just a arkanoid in a circle (and I'm sure that concept has been done before as well)

- Addictive - Fun - Lots of Levels - Really nice visuals - Unique concept of the classic Breakout Formula - Worthy to have and play =D Recommend it =D
