About

When Earth was made uninhabitable by a massive war, humanity set in search for another home in outer space on a mothership called Arkanoid. Under attack by unknown assailants the Arkanoid launched a compact space exploration unit Vaus to pursue the enemy. However, the enemy pulled the Vaus into a strange zone with blocks hovering in the air in rows and columns. Will Vaus successfully return to the mothership or will it stay trapped in this strange zone?

This game is a take on the classic Arkanoid formula (clearing the playfield of the colored blocks by hitting a ball with the paddle positioned at the bottom of the screen). This version comes with features that distinguish it from other releases. There are over 100 playable stages in total with a branching campaign path, including new boss battles and stages inspired by Taito's classics like Space Invaders and Bubble Bobble. New to the series is the Versus mode which allows two players to compete against each other using a single iPhone/iPad.
