Blockage
Description
Blockage is your basic breakout clone. You have to keep your ball from getting past you and you have to destroy all of the bricks. There is one or two blocks in each level that you have to hit before you go onto the next level. If you hit it at the beginning, everything explodes and you get all of the points. If you hit it at the end, all of the bricks are gone so you already have all of the points so you just go to the next level. You can collect the hearts for extra lives. Everytime you hit a break, it explodes, sending debris everywhere so you have to pay attention or you might lose your ball in the confusion. There is no sound or highscore list. There also aren't any power-ups. It's just your basic, no frills, breakout game.

Just your basic breakout clone
The Good
Blockage is a fun game. It not's extremely fun but it's fun. It's a typical breakout game with no frills are special features. I happen to like breakout games though so I enjoy it. Since it's breakout, it's got your basic storyline. Break the bricks and... that's it. It's got a bunch of levels so it'll keep you busy for a while, that's for sure. It's a cool game but you can't really play it for too long, especially if you get stuck on one level. Then it just gets annoying.
The Bad
I didn't like that it doesn't have a high score list. Any game that has scores, should have a high score list. That's the way life works. I also think it should have a basic level editor. You know, select the brick, maybe the background color, and wham! A level! But it doesn't have one. It also doesn't have any sound but that doesn't bother me too much. What does get annoying though is the balls that fly across the screen when you hit a brick. It's really easy to lose your ball in the mess and lose a life just because you couldn't see your ball.
The Bottom Line
Blockage is a fun game and it will keep you busy for a while. It's got a bunch of levels, though I've never beaten them all. It's a good game to play in short bursts, but not for a long time, as with all breakout games. It might drive you insane. I got addicted to one once. It was bad... Anyway, Blockage is cool, play it if you like breakout games.
