Radon Blast Reviews

Great little take on Breakout. It's worth it.

Great brick breaker game that has its own unique style and twists. When you miss hitting a ball and one gets by you, a charged up red firey ball bounces around at what seems about double the speed. If it gets by you, you'll lose progress each time it gets by you until you either lose a ball eventually or until you finally manage to hit it. You cannot use the keyboard at all and it's all controlled by moving your mouse up and down. A few things missing from this game are the typical power ups I'm used to seeing in break breaker games like this. You know the power ups that make your paddle bigger for a short time, give you the ability to shoot the bricks for a short period of time, or offers you a shield behind your paddle in case you miss the ball.. I don't really mind the missing power-ups because this game still feels very solid and oozes quality.. and because it's great fun to play. What I do knock this game for however is a missing Steam high score chart. There's really NO excuse for a game of this type to not have Steam leaderboards. ..I hope they add leaderboards, and if they do, I'd enjoy playing a lot more! Still, I give this game a solid 8.5 out of 10, and recommend it especially at the low $3 USD price point!

A good conversion on this old classic, Sound & Gfx is spoton. only annoyance is the pad freezes when pointer is outside game window, (maybe only if you have dual screen setup?) lost many games to that bug. otherwise good value for money.

If you're looking for a relaxing brick breaker this is a decent option. That being said there are still some things that could be better. My biggest issue is how uninspired some of the stages are, with the priority being on making a cool or referential picture (like a floppy disk or face) instead of levels that are interesting to play. There are still some great levels here but fewer than you would expect from a game like this. Also, the settings are a bit sparse. I did really enjoy that you bounce from screen to screen and you get a chance to save yourself, it was a fun take on the genre.
