Arkanoid: Doh It Again

Arkanoid: Doh It Again

Similar to Breakout, the player controls the "Vaus", a spaceship that acts as a "paddle" and prevents a ball from falling off the playing field by trying to bounce it against a row of bricks. If the ball hits a brick, it disappears. When all the bricks have disappeared, the player moves on to the next level, where a different pattern of bricks appears. There are a number of variations (bricks that must be hit multiple times, flying enemy ships, etc.) and power-up capsules to improve the Vaus (expand the Vaus, multiply the number of balls, equip a laser cannon, go straight to the next level, etc.), but the game principle remains the same.
