Thanks for that perspective, dagoss, and it's good to see you around! I know there's something to be said in favor of the game's simplicity, but I think the same things could be said of maybe other Breakout clones that offer about the same experience and more besides. To me, it just feels like the kind of game you purchase to venture off the beaten path with your game library, once you've already gotten to the must-haves. Has your kid tried Kirby's Block Ball?
"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." - John F. Kennedy on reality
"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world
