Breakout is a simple Breakout clone for the 3DS. Breakout is an arcade game developed and published by Atari, Inc., and released on May 13, 1976. It was conceptualized by Nolan Bushnell and Steve Bristow, influenced by the seminal 1972 Atari arcade game Pong, and built by Steve Wozniak, aided by Steve Jobs.

Note: The homebrew is no longer maintained and developer has moved onto the new project Breakout Redux.

Installation

Available as a 3DSX and CIA.

• 3DSX - Copy .3dsx and .smdh into the /3ds/Breakout/ folder of your SD card then launch with homebrew loader.
• CIA - Copy .cia to your SD card and install it with the CIA manager of your choice.

User guide

Using a single ball, you must knock down as many bricks as possible by using the walls and/or the paddle below to ricochet the ball against the bricks and eliminate them.
