Overview
Block-breaking games belong to one of the most popular arcade game genres and have excited generations of gamers. In the Neo Geo game library this genre is considerably underrepresented which is quite suprising for an arcade game system. Hypernoid is my interpretation of this genre and combines the classic "Ball and Paddle" gameplay mechanics with a bio-mechanic look and challenging block layouts. The player needs to destroy all blocks with an energy ball to complete a stage. The paddle is used to deflect the ball and to keep it inside the stage. Beside regular blocks there are four special block types which have special properties to impede your success. Ten different power-up items can be collected which will help to complete stages faster and to earn more bonus points. After completing nine block stages you will engage an evil and mighty stage boss in a thrilling fight. Hypernoid features 45 block stages and five boss stages which constantly ramp up in difficulty. It is a single player game but you can invite a second player as a wingman who can support your gameplay with an additional small paddle.
