Quickie Review: BreakClassic

BreakClassic by bootant.com is a nifty little game that was free a few days ago but is now $.99. It was a super success as a free app, so I guess the developers are trying to cash in. 

Even so, this is a simple yet fun diversion. It works much like pong, except you have to hit cubes with the ball and then make sure you hit the ball again with the paddle. Sounds simple enough, right? 

And it is, for the most part. However, sliding your finger along the small paddle can make you feel like an ogre. The responsiveness is good, but I felt my fingers were even too big for this game--and I have tiny fingers! 

You get three balls per round. So, the goal is to break all of the cubes above and then move onto the next level. It does get harder as the cubes become closer to the ball and you have to catch falling stars in between hitting the ball, but it's all in all, fairly simple. 

What I love about this game though is the overall look. The colorful cubes are vibrant and stand out and when the ball hits a red cube, let's say, the ball has a red trail until it hits a yellow cube, then it switches. It's details like this that add to a game and BreakClassic has that little something extra. The sound effects aren't anything special, but they are timed well. However, I tend to prefer to play games with any repetitive noises on silent so as to not drive myself insane with all the bings and boops. Not to mention drive everyone around me crazy, too.
