Wreckanoid by Aaron Worrall is not only a beefed up Arkanoid clone, it also doubles as a Wii browser based game in silky and touchable internet silkiness.

Created for WiiCade, this is way to much fun, even without having the silly Wii dealio. I must say, having gravity and using the force at which you hit the ball with the paddle is simple yet genius add ons to this 532 year old game. As with any good Akranoid clone, you can and will find yourself stuck for a couple minutes trying to get the ball through the unbreakable objects. I’ve never found myself playing this style of game sober, so that may just be me.

Graphic wise, standard Akranoid. While anything will look good in flash compared to something made 30 years ago there’s been so many clones of this I was expecting better, since the game play is so awesome. Granted, Aaron is a coder, BUT STILL. I’ve been waiting for months to review a game with baby blood fountains, =(. While lacking nothing the original didn’t have, and having a bit more, needed that lil extra other clones have have, for me at least.

Sound wise, nothing unenjoyable. There’s a nice sound off button in the lower right corner but I didn’t need to turn it off. There’s some nice epic audio, pending what you do. You’ll see.

I’ve seen Wii vids. Laughed at how stupid people looked. Played this. I want a Wii now. No idea why I’ve not let myself think more into why it’d be good game play. Maybe I just miss my 2 buttons and arrow pad. ANYWAYS, I’ve barley touched on this game. While you COULD say “it’s just Arkanoid”, you’d be doing it a great injustice. With several modes of play, great power ups and much time to waste over such a small file size, screw writing more about it, I’m off to play it more, haha. YOU CAN COME TOO, IT’LL BE OK…
