Blast through the space blockage in this retro arcade game. It´s simple to grasp but difficult to master: Control the bat with the mouse to knock the ball against the blocks. Clear a level and advance to the next, but drop the ball and you lose a life.
Features:
Colourful full-screen graphics (VGA mode 13h).
Smooth paralax scrolling starfield background.
Written entirely in 8086 assembler for lightning fast gameplay and tiny file size (~8kb).
Compatible with MS-DOS and all desktop versions of Windows. Requires a mouse driver, 0.008MB of RAM & disk space.
Blocks:
Normal Blocks: These are your basic ball fodder. They break easily, but there are a lot of them about.
Toggle Block: These vanish on contact without exploding, only to pop back into existence seconds later. Thankfully, you don´t need to destroy them in order to pass a level, but they may get in your way.
Stubborn Block: These require a good deal of battering before they´ll give way.
Steel Block: These are completely indestructible.

Pros: None
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Small, but mouse movements are jerky in Windows. Maybe better in DOS 5?
