Description

Block Buster is a Breakout variant for one or two players. Players control a paddle at the bottom of the screen and bounce a ball towards bricks which are destroyed when hit. Bricks closer to the top are worth more points when destroyed. When playing with two players, both compete in turn for a high score. The game uses an overlay for color.
