Excellent. New features are nice, but I also like that they kept in classic mode.

A great classic block breaker with an also great soundtrack. I also like the fact that you can create your own levels and share them with others through the Steam-Workshop. If you like other block breakers like Arkanoid , you'll certainly like this one. Free piece of advice when playing this game: you can speed up your ball, and thus rack up a bit more points than normal when breaking a block, by clicking on the left mouse button right before the ball lands on the bar. Also, by holding the right mouse button, you can pull the ball faster towards you if it's near the bar. However, if you've picked up the power-up that makes the ball fall down faster, holding the right mouse button will push the ball upwards instead.

Man I must have played this for hundreds of hours as a kid in the late 90s. Mega nostalgia trip! Definitely recommend to those who played back then, as for new players, there's quite a bit of weirdness and jank but it still plays fine on modern hardware so give it a try if you like this kind of games!
