"Krypton Egg" is a breakage-brick game developed in 1990 by Hitsoft on Atari ST and Amiga 500/600 (OCS/ECS). Like other games of the same kind, you have to break each brick of the stage to clear the level and be able to go to the next one. However, there are several bonus which fall from broken bricks and give you special capacities. Here are the most usual ones:

*"glue" : the ball won't rebound automatically on the tray anymore, it will stuck on it and you have to click to re-throw the ball.
*"multiple ball": the ball will divide itself; you can't lose until you miss each one.
*"bigger ball": the ball will double-size.
*"frozen tray": the tray won't move for a second.

The game also propose different kind of monsters which deflect the ball and enhance the level of difficulty. Kryton Egg is part of the retrogaming phenomenon.
