Reflexive Entertainment . The game play is very similar to the oldAtari "Breakout " (a game that involves busting bricks with your paddle and ball). In the "Reflexive" version, the game is highly stylized. The game is played through different themes. There is a space theme, an underwater theme and two others. In each level, the "bricks" are animated. Some bricks explode, some are "un-breakable" and some are power-up bricks that have special power-ups that float down to your paddle at the bottom of the screen. When you catch the power-ups, certain effects ensue. An example would be the "gun power-up". When you catch the gun power-up, a pair of guns grow out of your paddle for better destruction of the bricks on the screen.External links
