Abandoned EA, the devs are working on another game, make sure to put it on your ignore list. Idea was decent but it has little replayability and zero difficulty. Only buy it at -95% sale.

Giving this a downvote cuz you spelled "Lose" as "Loose" in both the achievements and in other parts of the game. I can't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stand when people mix up those 2 words. Literally my biggest online pet peeve. FIX THE DAMN TYPOS PLEASE

This has been a promising game but has since been abandoned as of writing with the last update being more than 2 years ago. Cannot recommend at full price, worth considering only under a heavy discount.

This game is simple and addictive. One of the best of the breakout style games i have played. i can see where the game "Ball Pit" ma have been inspired by this game. I hope the developers make a sequel and build upon this fantastic game design. A must have for Steam Deck at an incredible price.
