Electranoid

The Good
Electranoid is a breakout/Arkanoid clone, no doubt about it. It has the Pixel Painters stamp on it, a company whose games I've grown to like. However, truth to be told, Electranoid simply isn't a terribly good game.

What Electranoid does have is fairly good all-around graphics, slick design everywhere and nice "cutscenes" before and after gameplay. The music is also quite good and sound decent.

The Bad
Lack of level design sophistication is what makes this game quite boring, which is unfortunate. Controlling the ball is a little weird, but you get used to it. But what's most annoying about this game are the cutscenes - there's no way to speed them up or turn them off completely, and they take all too much time (it takes about 15 seconds once you die for you to start over. Needless to say, that kind of delay is thoroughly annoying).

The Bottom Line
A pretty mediocre Arkanoid clone. Has some potential, but it's lost.
