Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Good for any retro Atari game lover! Modern-ish version of Breakout for mobile you can take anywhere.
We played this all the time in 2017. For some reason we remembered it today and decided to redownload, and its just as fun as before.
Its good! Ill review it more later.
This game would be so much better if it had game controller support. Id much prefer to use a joystick. We decided not to pay for the upgrade because the finger sliding of the player bar is kind of horrible. It would be great with a joystick on a controller.
Thank you for reviving this classic, we downloaded this in 2013 and its still working, awesome! A company with integrity.
We have a bias old App Store games.
Atari should have more free games on mobile. Maybe something like Centipede or Crystal Castles or Pong.
A truly classic game. We really enjoy the speed control option.
We love this game, there are no ads and you dont have to have WiFi so fun, definitely recommend.
A most amazing video game for the iPhones devices.
Dude our dads friend let us play this on his phone and now we have it on our phone!!!!! If youre wondering Im in 6th grade.
This game is still akting buggy as Allah get out. How can we contact the game developer to get them to debut it.
Breakout is a big classic, and since we just found out that there is an official iPhone game for it, we are happy.
The game is so so fun it needs no internet )and Im not playing it well Im driving.
Its a great game. Good for you! Perfect.
Great game, brings back Atari memories.
Everything we remember as a child of the 1970s and when one puts it on red GREAT FUN.
Apple just needs to add a knob so it feels like the real thing.
We love love this game. Takes us back when we played with our kids.
One of the early versions had the ball controlled by a magnetic lash, we miss it! Breakout Valentines and Challenge are 2 of our faves, though we love all of the packs. Slide a ball through a steel-brick is 1 trick. Break out 2 or more bricks simultaneously to make extra point bubbles drop quicker; dont miss a single one of those to keep your score ramping up! Sometimes the trick is to not accept a ball-modifier bubble! Sometimes to slow way down helps you capture more points, especially near the end of a level lest you overload your ball and it cant accept more points because its already carrying a doubled ball into the next level! Enjoy! HapnanHal awaits you.
10/10 game Ive been in love with Atari since a child.
Good stuff right here. It reminds us of the games when we were a kid. Just like old school.
Great game play and feels a lot like the original. We dont mind buying the expansion packs because they keep the game fresh. Love the fact that there isnt an ad in sight! Great job dev team.
Cant wait to pass every level and buy all the stages. Worth every penny.
Merry Christmas and this app is the best nothing Id ever ever want to change.
This app is the BEST it has power ups a speed control this 3d look what a good app.
We're not a big game player but sometimes we just need some downtime. This game keeps us on our toes and at 65 years old we're sure it helps with our hand eye coordination and whatever else. We don't have anything negative to say about it. Oh except that we need some new challenges. Thanks.
During covid19, this is a excellent way to kill time. Great game. Wish there were more levels without the $$$.
Its very fun a great game to play when youre bored.
Super fun game! Please always have this game available in the App Store. Times will change, programming will change but this game must always exist, for years to come. We would love to see more and more variations.
The speed level slide, various levels challenges and different enhancements/ features of the balls are great. Atari 5200.
We have played an Atari before and this game is so much like it this is perfect for 90s kids of course dont take it from us Im a child with a lot of knowledge. Thank you for reading.
Turned us Back to being the old school fool.
Love that there bring back the classic hits. This is one to have we play it for hours.
It has everything the original game had, but with better graphics, amazing controls, and doesnt even require Wi-Fi (unlike those Sonic Classic games). Definitely a great game.
It is very good and is more like Arkanoid rather than Breakout because of the power ups,but it is a hell of a game in the good way.The bad reviews are stupid and inferior because it is a sugoi game,and the people who wrote bad reviews need to know that this is a reproduction of an old game,and need to appreciate real art.
Simple, fun, and like the old arcade games.
Also can you reborn classics like pong and Frogger.
Fun & Challenging … What more needs to be said :-).
Not What You Remember, This Is Break-Out On Steroids! Love It.
We've always loved this game since we were a kid. Nothing too complicated, good for exercising brain and reflexes.
We even bought the booster packs because we loved the app soon much.
Cool fun game helps with hand eye coordination.
Brings back memories of the fun simple games.
We are an 80s gamer, Atari 2600 in '81, and to control the speed like Keanu dodging bullets in the Matrix is a nice touch especially when encountering a couple dozen balls, so if you have been disappointed in the classic remakes like us you won't be here, it is just a game you can play for a few minutes here and there.
So much fun, nothing better on a plane.
This game is really fun. It can be real challenging. We think it might be awhile before we can complete all levels at max speed. Highly recommend.
We loved this game when we were a kid growing up and this version does it justice!!!! It's awesome! We love that we can adjust the speed so easily during play! Fun & calming.
Adjustable speed is what makes the game.
An old favorite for sure. Too bad you have to pay for extra levels though. We wasn't happy with just 10 levels so we had to cough up for the extra ones. Over all we give it 5 stars and play this game a lot and would recommend it to friends.
