VoidBreaker

Pad, the paddle needs your help!

Aliens are descending, and the city of StarVille won’t be able to hold out on its own!Keep your star orb bouncing, collect powerful upgrades, and stop the invaders before they reach the city!

Break bricks. Battle aliens. Protect StarVille.

Voidbreaker combines brick-breaking action with an advancing alien formation. Aim your rebounds, dodge enemy fire, and decide when to hold your ground or accelerate across the screen.

Take too long and the aliens change tactics. When the 50-second countdown expires, they leave formation and swoop toward Pad, one by one.

Three boss battles test your control of an arena filled with bouncing enemy projectiles to really test your skills.

Features

• Solo or local two-player co-op. Share balls, powers, score, and lives. (The GBC version requires a link-cable).
• Normal and Hard difficulties. Choose a wider paddle for Normal, or face Hard’s smaller paddle and more aggressive late-game firing.
• Two campaign lengths. Play the 60-level Standard campaign or the full 90-level Extended campaign.
• Six pickups. Unleash fireballs, multiply your balls, engage lasers, increase ball speed, gain a rare extra life, or catch falling balls with a temporary Glass Guard.
• Three bosses and permanent upgrades. Defeating each boss adds a new ability for the rest of your run.
• Bonus play after victory. Return to the fight and clean up the remaining forces.

• One NES ROM with automatic PAL/NTSC detection, adapting gameplay timing and audio to the console. (The GBC version runs on GB as well, but the colors are not optimised for it).
