Playing in this manner leaves you with a far greater sense of control over the ball when contrasted with the old iterations (such as Breakout or Alleyway) which instead required you to frantically thumb the Circle Pad or jerk at the joystick in order to keep the ball under your influence. As with Pong the gameplay is fairly mundane by modern day standards, so when a forty year old concept makes its way onto a modern system, new features and mechanics are essential Brick Breaker attempts to keep the experience fresh by providing a number of modern additions to the age old formula.Īs one may expect when playing on a 3DS system, your bat is controlled with the stylus and touchscreen. Hitting each pixel or the structure with the ball destroys it, and the stage is completed upon removal of the every piece of the "wall". The object of the title is to deflect a ball with a bat (in the same vein as Pong) in order to gradually chip away at a solid block or "wall".

As previously mentioned, Atari's 1976 Arcade hit Breakout is no mystery to video game veterans, and Brick Breaker matches its older predecessor extremely closely.
