Arkanoid: Eternal Battle (PC/Steam)
F2P version (from discount elysium (deals thread 2) - #437 by Grandpa ).
Was surprised couldn’t just play with keyboard.
It’s trying the Tetris 99 approach or whatever, showing you how you’re doing relative to other simultaneous players.
There was one other player and they seemed to drop as soon as actual play started after the initial wait for players, so it was me against 24 or so AIs.
They sure throw in as many graphics FX as they could think of to distract you from being bored.
It just kept going so I quit.
The full version, with 1P modes or something, is on sale for a couple bucks I guess, can’t say I’m tempted, it’s Arkanoid with more eye-ache and no control options apparently.
Oh yeah also the game made my computer’s fan go real noisy constantly; only other game I get that with is Pinball FX. : P
