Block Buster

Block Buster

Released1997
Block Buster (or Block Kuzushi or Simple 1500 Series vol.014 - The Block Kuzushi in Japan) is a good breakout game that can be played by 2 players in cooperative or VS mode. The game offers some interesting special moves like the one in which you can hit the ball with effect pressing a buttom. There are 3 different game modes: Attack mode, Endless mode & VS mode. With roots in the classic Breakout game from a few decades ago, Block Kuzushi continues where Arkanoid left off and updates the theme with colorful jewels to hit in addition to the standard rows of bricks. During the course of play, weapon upgrades may be picked up such as multiple balls, shooting power and other brick bashing powerups. Roaming objects on-screen may deflect your ball so watch out for surprise changes in trajectory when these nuisances are afoot. 60 levels of cleverly designed boards (and some not so clever ones) should hold your attention for a few hours.Show less

About This Game

Block Buster returns with an expanded feature set that breathes new life into the classic arcade format. Two new mechanics — the Squash Ball and Wall Shake — add layers of strategy to the familiar gameplay, while full two-player support lets competitors go head-to-head and steal each other's ball mid-match. New level designs push the familiar formula in directions the original never explored, making it a worthy continuation of the beloved brick-breaker legacy.
