It is a game heavily inspired by Taito's Arkanoid, with many different bonus drops including novel ideas such as drops changing the screen colours. If three special upgrade drops are collected, you are promoted to the next screen after passing through the upgrades shop, where you may use your points to buy weapons and other upgrades. The ball and paddle physics are on a higher level than most Breakout clones.
