Breakout 3DS

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Note: The homebrew is no longer maintained and developer has moved onto the new project Breakout Redux.
