What players say
This game carried the second semester of my senior year. A fun little arcade score-attack experience. Bangin' game for its price! I came for a Blast, but stayed for a Ball, if you know what I mean. They never miss!

This is basically a Breakout and OG Mario Bros (before Super Mario Bros) style game with a Wario Land 4 aesthetic and movement. The characters are charming and I am especially a Dynamite Annie fan, pretty sure most people are too. The gameplay is actually quite challenging NGL but it's pretty fun and addictive. Never thought that playing and hitting balls can be both hard and fun at the same time...wait. Anyway, how...
definitely a fun little title!! worth the 5 bucks :] however do beware that this game gets HARD towards the end, and there are more than a few bugs. i've gotten hardlocked a couple of times and had to restart the whole game,, doesn't take away from my enjoyment though! fun to play with friends :]
