Atari’s breakthrough receives a lateral scroll restart
Proving that no IP really is safe from modern -day Restart of the cultureAtari Breakthrough is coming back. The upcoming version of the simple hit of 1976 bricks rotates the 90 -degree playing field and adds automatic scrolling, neon effects, power supplies and a local cooperative. In other words, Breakthrough it Tetris effect Formula It is used to Arcade Classic from the LED Zeppelin era.
Thehe original Breakthrough It has been a product of dramatically more upgraded hardware than the 70s, but its simplicity was part of its magic. Rows of bricks sat on top, a paddle controlled by a player, living below and a “ball” (in fact a square, thanks to the graph of the 70’s) bounced between them. Move the paddle, hit the ball, break the brick, Wow Bellbottom wearing arcadegers.
The main formula – moving a bell for bounce of projectiles against bricks – remains intact in BreakthroughS But the landscape perspective of the game, although more suitable for today’s TVs and monitors, can be difficult for old school gamers to get used to. Ditto for automatic scrolling, as this version is directed from left to right towards a goal, not just requires you to break all the bricks on a fixed screen.
Visually, the ball of the new version is more like a comet, with a long neon tail that holds its round head. The effects that cause seizures abound. And there are many balls to fight, not just one. (However, SupremacyThe direct extension of the original game, there were two modes with additional balls.)
As Tetris effect., Breakthrough Introduces combinations, rewarding you with enhanced visual and sound effects to draw streams of broken bricks. You can also break special blocks that unlock power supplies: bombs that clean up everything-from radius of a given, force field to protect the ball and distorted laser cannon that allows you to blow up bricks from your way, A LA Cosmic invadersS
The game keeps a local cooperative of the match so you can break bricks with a friend on the couch. It has 72 levels and an optional focus mode that slows down time (at the expense of higher results).
