DX-Ball
| DX-Ball is a free arcade game by Michael P. Welch. It has got to be the best Breakout-style game ever. The object of the game is to bounce your ball around the screen with your paddle, breaking bricks, collecting points and power-ups as you go. Once all the bricks are destroyed, you move to the next level. If you drop the ball, you lose a life. The game has 50 different levels, lots of power-ups and in-game music. |
