Faster ball.
Enemies, a la Arkanoid.
Ability to jump to any level you've reached previously.
New and improved levels.

User guide

How to play:

Use you magic piano to keep the ball in play, hitting as many bricks as possible.
Collect power capsules for special abilities.
If you can hack it, you will discover the secret mastermind behind those crazy bricks.

Cheats:

The music will restart when you do this. You will then have infinite lives, and can use the Select buttonto skip levels.
You cannot, however, post a high score.
