Arkanoid is a classic game company Taito from the year 1986. It is a Breakout clone which first appeared as an arcade machine. The player must make a ball with a paddle deliberately bounce off to hit colored stones from a block. This one may not touch the ball miss, otherwise you have lost. There are many enhancements to breakout, for example, power-ups, enemy spaceships and laser cannons. In addition, the width of the stick can vary and the number of balls. The game features 32 levels and a degree level. It sparked a new boom for Breakout clones.
