About

Double Breakout is a Breakout variant. What sets it apart from the original arcade game is that it's played horizontally and, as the title might indicate, it features two sets of bricks on the screen. Except for that it plays the same with the player controlling a bat up and down on the left side of the screen which he uses to destroy bricks with a ball. When launching a game the player can choose a speed between one and seven. Once the game has begun the player has nine balls and when they are all used up the game restarts instantly. There is no score and the game does not end when all bricks have been cleared.
