About MadCowBalls2
Save the city from the mad cow balls and destroy the bricks. Gain skillpoints from high score and completing levels. Use the skillpoints to upgrade your balls, weapons and gain access to the 60+ power ups!

Select can change setting betwen left and right spinn. Rockets, Plasma gun and the Gravity Beam. Each time you fail to protect the city from the Mad Cow Balls you lose one life.
The first time the game is run it will test how fast it can render the graphics and set a graphic setting. The graphic setting can also be changed in the option menu and lowered by the debug mode.
There are 12 different playfields with a maximum of 555 points grid. A filter are applied depending on how many levels you have finished in that game. Next the 145 different kinds of bricks are speard out over the grid.
As you finish a level you will gain a skillpoint that can be used to unlock power ups and upgrades. Unlocking a different kind of ball will make it possible for that specific power up to spawn when a brick is destroyed. For each 10.000 points earned in a single level there will be a bonus skillpoint (Get the multi bonuses). Playing the game on a high difficulty will also add skillpoints before the first level.
With no upgrades the game works nearly as old classics but it can easily be changed by the player with the upgrades. This may change the game from casual to more of a action shooter.

For a £0.79 game, MadCowBalls 2 is well worth buying; especially if you enjoy playing 2D breakout/arkanoids. It looks quite amateurish if you just look at the graphic; however, not only has the developer been updating the game regularily since its release in October 2019 to add new ideas to the game; e.g. the last update was November 2021 when the Boss update was added. This creates bosses using a random algorithm that adds different bosses using a selection from thirteen different boss elements; for example, these elements include speed up bricks that cause your ball to move faster, a homing stun weapon that paralyses your bat temporarily, spikes that if hit by your ball, destroy it, as well as lots more such as brick re-generators etc. Each boss created is very unlikely to be exactly the same as previous bosses you've encountered in game due to the randomised nature of how the bosses are created. Also, and this is a big also, it has some original features not seen in any breakouts I've played over the 30 plus years I've been regularly playing breakouts, and I've purchased and played many hundreds.

These Mad Cows are angry and they only way that they know how to take out their anger is by destroying your city. In this game it is up to the player to deflect these Mad Rolling Cows into a field of blocks that surround your city. Once the cows have crashed into all the blocks, the cow’s energy will be depleted, and the player’s town will be saved. The game starts the player off by first starting up the game launcher. On the launcher screen the player can Start the game, view the game’s option menu, player High Score, Cow Progress (in game Achievements), Support, and Exit the game. At the moment the game’s High Score and Support tabs in the game’s Launcher are under construction but everything else appears to be operational. Under the game’s option menu, players can turn on Cheating (which allows the player to play any …5 found this helpful
