Enjoy playing Breakout with this new take on the classic arcade game of the same name.

When you initially opened the game it was very small which made it hard to read the instructions, however, this has been improved and now opens at a larger size. But you can still resize it from the app resolution control located on the middle left side. It took us a minute to find it but once we did it was smooth sailing. The gameplay is simple, 'z' to move the paddle left and '/' for right. There are also some settings that can be manipulated like ball and level speed, ball size, and extra-life probability - all of which are controlled via sliders.

One little thing, make sure that you have the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes on your machine which can be easily achieved with Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes AIO Repack.

Breakout is a fun little game to play with enough new things to keep it interesting.
