"From the very first seconds"
Bouncing a ball to smash bricks sounds childish, until sly angles and shifting bonuses turn the game into a feat of dexterity. Designed for the console's paddle, it offers control of exhilarating precision. Colourful, brisk and surprisingly sly, this refreshed brick-breaker grabs you for irresistible quick sessions.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Bouncing the ball back, knocking down bricks and catching bonus capsules on the fly chains short boards that always call for the next. The unpredictable trajectory and the hunt for a flawless clear make you restart the moment the ball is lost. Built for the paddle, the handling has aged, but this brisk brick-breaker keeps an immediate, stubborn hook.

Collector interest
A Japanese block-breaker by Sega using the Paddle Control dial controller, exclusive to Japan, subtitled Shinjinrui no Block Kuzushi. Its desirability rests on its dependence on a rare peripheral and on its status as a Japanese exclusive never ported to the West in this form. Collectors seek this cartridge for its link to the Paddle Control and its membership in the console's singular subset of dedicated-controller games.
