Action Ball 2 is an energetic arcade experience that successfully revitalizes the classic brick-breaker genre with a healthy mix of action, progression, and creative level design. Developed and published by Rionix, the game takes the familiar paddle-and-ball formula and expands it into a much larger adventure filled with enemies, boss encounters, upgrades, and an entertaining science-fiction storyline. Instead of simply clearing rows of bricks, players embark on a mission to rescue Captain Livsey's kidnapped robotic cat after it is taken to Mars by the Robot Empire. While the narrative remains lighthearted, it gives the campaign a welcome sense of direction and helps distinguish the game from more traditional arcade titles. The gameplay remains faithful to the fundamentals that made brick-breakers so enduringly enjoyable. Players guide a paddle across the bottom of the screen, carefully keeping the ball in motion while smashing through intricate block formations.

I think this was poor design and I did not finish this level - it took over 30 minutes to complete because for the most of the level the ball was just moving from one warp to another. Unlike the first game, increasing your number of lives seems much more difficult. By the time you get to the boss levels, you tend to only have a few lives to play with, particularly later in the game. Level 60 of the first theme was the killer. I had only two lives - the two bosses have multiple types of attack and there can be a lot going on . Even if I was not hit by one of the bosses I kept dying, sometimes for no apparent reason. It would appear there might have been something wrong with the collision detection or something. I cannot stand u…

Fun and challenging game completed all levels was worth the play.
