DX-Ball (1996)

This is an extremely simple Breakout clone. You bounce the ball. You break the blocks. You get as far as you can on three lives. There is no music save for the title screen.

The physics of the ball are perfect, the paddle controls exactly like it should. This is FUCKIng Breakout, FUCK YES.

For me, who has a job and several university subjects, each with their own inexhaustible stream of assignments, this shit is exactly what I want, and exactly what I need.

10/10 I hear the sequel is even better, I'll play it one day.
