Arkanoid

Parent game

Arkanoid is an arcade game developed by Taito in 1986. It expanded upon Atari's Breakout games of the 1970s by adding power-ups, different types of bricks, and a variety of level layouts. The title refers to a doomed "mothership" from which the player's ship, the Vaus, escapes.

Two of Taito's most beloved arcade classics combine with cameos from their other releases to produce one frantic title.

Relive the old school days of Arkanoid… ARKANOID Plus! is an updated version of the original arcade blockbuster. Players must destroy colored blocks by guiding an Energy Ball around the screen using a spaceship called a VAUS. The game features a host of new modes and settings which radically alter the gameplay experience: "Arcade Mode" consists of 61 Rounds divided into left and right versions with two types of boss characters appearing in the last Round; "VS Mode" lets players face off against a friend or the CPU; and the unfailingly frantic "Time Mode" challenges players to clear Rounds within a strict time limit. Factor in the subtle differences arising from the choice of “Lives” or “Barrier” rules, along with a plethora of exciting items, and it’s clear you’re in for hours and hours of blockbusting fun!

First appearing in the 1980’s as a new style block-breaking game, ARKANOID, appears on Xbox LIVE Arcade having accomplished even further evolution. Enjoy Arkanoid in high-definition with beautifully choreographed background movies and background music. Loaded with 120 stages in all and colorful cooperative and versus modes.

It is 2200 A.D. and the Hordes of Octo invaded the Earth. It is your task to deliver the planet. The goal in Alien Breaker is to destroy all battalions, represented by blocks on the screen, by bouncing a ball off of a horizontally moving paddle at the bottom of the screen. The blocks are colored and may change colors when hit until they disappear. Levels are won by clearing all blocks from the screen and lost by letting the ball fall out of the bottom of the screen. As some blocks are hit, 23 different bonus items can be released and fall down the screen. If the player catches them with the paddle, gameplay changes occur. The game is comprised of 50 levels with 4 different enemy types and 2 bosses. The game also offers adapted gameplay using the accelerometer.
