(Block Fever)

A Breakout game. Where you select from three game modes:

Game A
You score points by erasing the four blinking handicap blocks, but the remaining blocks are gradually descending. The distance between the racket and the blocks is getting narrower and narrower, so the game is full of thrills.

Game B
The entire block moves in parallel from left to right, and the key is to concentrate your attack on the most depressed point. The key point is to concentrate your attack on the most concave point.

Game C
Aim at the corner of a stationary block and attack the most concave part of the block. When the pole goes through the block, the ball will be fired inside the block and the score will increase.

Ball speed ・Racket size
Ball speed is set to low, medium, or high speed, and racket size is set to large, medium, or small.

This happens the more blocks that are erased. Once all the blocks are gone then they reappear for the highest score to achieve that will be displayed in 4 digits. The game ends once you miss all the balls.

The highest score is displayed in 4 digits.

When all the blocks disappear, all the blocks reappear on the screen to challenge the highest score.
