A classic!

The Good
Krypton Egg is, right after Arkanoid, my absolute favorite Breakout clone, and with good reason: featuring great graphics and music, what really sets this game apart are its excellent control system and level design. The controls are very smooth, unlike other Breakout games out there, so smooth in fact that this is the one game that had me get used to playing Breakouts with a mouse. The level design is nothing short of brilliant, and the "boss" levels really are a surprising twist on a tried and true genre.

In short, I like!

The Bad
Well some of the levels are slightly tedious, but it's a problem inherent to all Breakout games so there really isn't much to complain about.

The Bottom Line
By far one of the best Breakout clones in history. Fetch, play, enjoy!

A really great breakout game!

The Good
The thing I liked most about it is the powerups: shooting, flying, growth, go through blocks, etc. Also, there are moster shooting sessions and bosses.

The Bad
The game is sort of wacky, with flying monsters, which do get annoying. Also, everyone hates invisible blocks.

The Bottom Line
The most innovative, if not the best, breakout game ever!
