Abandonia Reloaded
DX Ball is a addictive Breakout game, and you will find yourself coming back to it many times. The game can get very fast and furious, and it is so easy to miss a ball and lose a paddle. There are a lot of power-ups, and you have to be careful not to collect the 'Bad' power-ups be accident. Graphics are colourful, and animation is very smooth. Your ball is easy to spot, thanks to the black background. Sound effects are excellent, with each type of brick having its own unique sound. My only gripe is the bland music that doesn't fit in with the game. Thankfully, that is turned off by default. All in all, a lovely game that will have you hooked for hours.

DX Ball has become a classic for many good reasons. If you haven't played this game, it comes highly recommended. It is greatly appreciated that the game is kept online despite its age and made available to the public as a freeware game. If you haven't tried it out yet, give it a run, it will be worth your time.
