Sunny Games has released Brixout XP - a fast-action non-violent game of skill and concentration for the entire family. This wonderful piece of software represents a fully three-dimensional twist on classic ball, paddle and bricks games such as Arkanoid and Breakout. Use the mouse, keyboard, joystick or gamepad to control the paddle, which moves at one side of the board, and hit the ball trying to destroy all bricks within the playing field. Inside some bricks you may find various power-ups that can help you or add additional obstacles. Once you have broken all bricks on the current level, you proceed to the next one, and when you complete all levels, you are teleported to another world (there are 4 different worlds in the game).
