Breakout! is a clone of Arkanoid. It is a multi-language (English and German, depending on user's preferences) 3D-Breakout clone with little in-game manual. In this game you must remove all the blocks to get the highest score, you can move the camera as well for easier gameplay.

This homebrew was participated in the NEO Retro Coding Compo 2010 (Game).

Installation

Download and extract file.

Copy it to the root directory of the card.

If you want Highscores to be saved, you have to create a /data/breakout/ folder on your flash card.
