"THE TIME AND ERA OF THIS STORY IS UNKNOWN. AFTER THE MOTHERSHIP "ARKANOID" WAS DESTROYED, A SPACECRAFT "VAUS" SCRAMBLED AWAY FROM IT. BUT ONLY TO BE TRAPPED IN SPACE WARPED BY SOMEONE......"Taito's version of the popular arcade game of the same name, for one or two players alternating. This game released with a special controller packed in.
Arkanoid puts you in control of Vaus, a small spaceship (which you wouldn't know was an aircraft unless you were told) that can move left to right (and back again) to stop a small ball from exiting the playing field. The challenge lies in the fact as you are at the mercy of the angle of the contact, the next destination of the ball determined by such. The overall object is to bounce the ball back up into a field of colored squares, disappearing or weakening upon impact. Once those blocks are taken care of, the game proceeds to the next round.
Along the way there are powerups revealed by breaking blocks, giving you multi-ball, a slower moving ball, a larger "paddle," and other variations. There are also free-roaming enemies that must be dispensed as well. These should be taken care of quickly as they can interfere with the ball trajectory, stopping you from completing your mission.
Throughout the years the game has seen many re-releases, the most recent of which is
Arkanoid Plus!, available on WiiWare.
