Overview
Bank Buster casts the player as a bank robber tunneling underground to reach and break into a well-stocked bank. As the character progresses through layers of earth, obstacles and threats must be cleared to advance toward the target.
Similar to Breakout, the player controls a platform at the bottom of the screen and directs a ball to smash through layers of earth and obstacles, similar in feel to Breakout games. The player can move the paddle freely across the playfield and use dynamite sticks to clear larger sections of earth. Progressing through the levels requires breaking blocks and reaching treasures while avoiding hazards that impede the ball or pad.
