Poing! PC 1.01

Arcade 4.54 Mb Freeware


A Outstanding Breakout Game!

Author's note:

Poing! PC is the award-winning freeware game that puts an innovative twist on the tried and tested style of Breakout. Destroying bricks will not necessarily help since they will keep coming back... instead, the aim is to break a path to the back wall of each level and smash the wall until it fades away, allowing you to progress through to the next level.

As an added twist, if you lose the ball after progressing through several levels, you won't lose a life immediately. The ball will plummet back through the levels you've beaten until you either catch it or it goes past the first level of the set. Sounds complicated? It isn't! Download the game and play it to find out how simple the idea really is.

Fortunately there's a wide variety of powerups to help you along the way, including the Bat Autopilot, Forcefield and Promote. Poing! PC also keeps track of your games and compiles a whole list of lifetime statistics along with the per-levelset and all-time hiscore tables - and if you get tired of the included levels, you can make your own with the included level editor!

Features:

*80 colourful levels split across 10 levelsets
*16 different brick types to hinder your progress
*20 weird and wonderful powerups, good and bad
*Detailed lifetime stats to track your achievements
*Highscores for each levelset and an overall hall of fame
*Integrated level editor to create your own levels with
*Crisp 800 x 600 graphics with scalable detail
*Funky chip-style music from Alexander "zalza" Buler

There are several 'debug command' cheat keys that are pretty easy to find if you experiment with the keyboard.
