ANONYMOUS  Although the some users may report crashes they may be experiencing the countdown of 6 minutes. The first few times I played I thought it was crashing. Game play is slightly hesitent at times but overall the best game of this type. I wish the time limit wasn't a factor I wish we could see more levels before committing to buy.

ANONYMOUS  Cute.. :D It's like.. An amiga advert in game form..

I agree about the physics being a bit off when it hits the edges of the bat. Other than that it's great. ^^

UMAROMC  physics not all there... ball looks like it's going through the edge but "pops" into face of paddle and 'properly' delflects. game crashes/spits out of memory (1.0 and 1.0.1) w/o crash log and w/o warning (cannot be reproduced under specific circumstances). overall novelty to brickout is great, stability issues need addressing.

ANONYMOUS  A little jerky but surprisingly playable on my 600 MHz G3. Graphics improvements from OS X 10.3.4 may be a factor in this.
