Overview
Exercise your Amiga's mouse in this fast-paced arcade-style game. Are you ready for 16 levels of arcade action? If you are, pop in your Resource Disk and double-click on tine Break Down icon. This Breakout-style game features unique background patterns and blocks with special powers. And it's our first game to include a full blown musical score. There are three kinds of blocks In Break Down: standard, wall, and special. You progress through the levels by using your paddle to knock a ball into every standard brick on the screen. The standard blocks are translucent red, green, and yellow. Wall bricks are solid gray and can never be broken. Power blocks each give you a different special benefit. Red power blocks give you a second paddle which floats above your main paddle. This paddle gives you an extra chance to strike the ball. It also provides you with a quick way to change the trajectory of the ball if you get into a rut with the single paddle. Each purple power block gives you an extra paddle. You start Break Down with three paddies. The number of paddles in reserve is shown in the scoring box on the right side of the screen. You can have a maximum of five paddles in reserve, although only three are shown in the box. You lose a paddle whenever the ball goes off the bottom of the screen. When you lose your last paddle, the game ends. Striking a green power block completes a level despite the number of standard bricks left on the screen. Note that striking these blocks may cause you to miss out on other special blocks which might be available. They may also prevent you from obtaining extra points. Yellow power blocks slow down your ball. The change takes effect the next time the ball strikes your paddle. There are three types of blue power blocks. Each is worth the number of points it is labeled with. Created by Rhett Anderson and Randy Thompson and published as a coverdisk for COMPUTE!'s Amiga Resource - Volume 2 Number 3 in 1990-06, COMPUTE!
