The game combines retro aesthetics with modern execution, offering players a fun, intuitive and challenging experience that doesn't require hours of learning, but is ready to play in an instant.
Google Block Breaker is not only a homage to old games from the 80s and 90s – like Arkanoid or Breakout – but also proof that simple games still have their special place in the hearts of players of all generations. It is suitable for all ages, easy to play, but at the same time challenging through fast-paced levels and a variety of blocks.
