Hands down the best Brick Breaker game ever! All the powerups, paddle bounce, the force you can manipulate the ball, the custom made maps - everything is made right, yet simple and feeling oldschool. The DLCs also are worth the price as you get so many different levels to enjoy. Satisfying and relaxing, perfect for passing some time on - I definitely reccomend it

Excellent. New features are nice, but I also like that they kept in classic mode.

A great classic block breaker with an also great soundtrack. I also like the fact that you can create your own levels and share them with others through the Steam-Workshop. If you like other block breakers like Arkanoid , you'll certainly like this one. Free piece of advice when playing this game: you can speed up your ball, and thus rack up a bit more points than normal when breaking a block, by clicking on the left mouse button right before the ball lands on the bar. Also, by holding the right mouse button, you can pull the ball faster towards you if it's near the bar. However, if you've picked up the power-up that makes the ball fall down faster, holding the right mouse button will push the ball upwards instead.

Oh the memories! How many hours I played this game when I was a kid! DX-Ball 2 is imho the best game of its genre. The boards are creative, the controls smooth and responsive, the effects fun, and the music is an absolute BANGER! Just discovered the game on Steam and instantly bought it and you should too cause it's awesome! :D
