About Breakout Beyond
Breakout is back! Choice Provisions (Bit.Trip) has flipped the legendary series on its head. Or rather side. In this neon-drenched take on the classic, you’ll need to literally break through each puzzle by clearing bricks to breach the final goal. Longer play will rack up a combo and increase the intensity of the effects creating a spectacular light show as a reward for the most skilled players. Special blocks will grant an edge like large brick-clearing blasts, a barrier that’ll save your ball, and a laser cannon to clear a path. Each one will reward players with dazzling dynamic effects that create an excitement that hasn’t been seen in Breakout before. Each of the 72 levels will push your skills to the limit, but you won’t be without help. A focus mode will allow you to slow down time at the expense of your score. Or, if you want some help and company, you can tag in a friend to play through the entire game in local two-player co-op.
Features
- 72 levels that will push your brick-breaking skills to the test
- Unlockable endless mode with an online global leaderboard
- Two-player co-op to manage the chaos with a friend
- Procedural audio and visual effects that ramp up with your combo

[h1]65 / 100[/h1] [i]This different take on the old breakout formula didn't quite land for me. Horizontal layout aside, even after dialing in the sensitivity, control of the bat-to-ball feels too slippery to reliably and precisely direct the ball where you want. Neon aesthetic / flashing effects looks great, but also make it harder to track the ball. CRT/filter effects can't be turned off. Some challenging and enjoyable levels - 72 on offer in Voyage mode took me around 4-5hrs to complete. Despite some frustrations and my brain never really adjusting sideways it was still a fun play through, and a refreshing take on the genre.[/i] ✔️ Timers, constantly progressing play fields, and high speed can make this a respectable challenge. ✔️ Power-ups (once unlocked) offer various tactical advantages to breakout and maximise scores. ✔️ Modern but Classic; the visuals are beautiful, complemented by solid retro sound effects. ✔️ Easter Egg - 1976 mode ツ ❌ Bat acceleration/sensitivity feels off - very hard to precisely angle the ball. ❌ Limited replayability - not many modes or other challenges once clocked. ❌ Colour selections along with the neon-tastic effects make it hard to track ball…8 found this helpful
A fantastic take on the arcade classic Breakout. The music and sound design, really elevated the experience from being just another block breaker. The game also pairs a cool visual style and some fun Arkanoid-like power ups, to keep things engaging. If you're a fan of early arcade games, you should consider picking this one up. Also yes I'm aware of the Amico. Tommy's mother should be very proud, that one good thing came out of that.1 found this helpful
having played quite a few free breakout games (because i love breakout) im pleased to have paid £6 for this. its very smooth. runs and looks really good and is definitely better than any of the free ones out there.
loved the original. loved breakout RECHARGED. Breakout Beyond, however, might have surpassed its predecessors in both aesthetic and execution. fantastically fun and easily accessible for a new generation. fans of the original and recharged will be pleased to find an entirely new game comprised of elements from both the original and the more recently released breakout recharged as well as enough new game mechanics to keep things interesting for those of us who have played the predecessors. nevertheless, enough of the original DNA remains that diehard fans of the original will not be alienated from the experience.
