Spells are a great addition to the mix, and you can use things like a fireball to clear out blocks or a blast of wind to influence where the ball lands. There's also a store that features a few useful items you can purchase, along with enemies wandering the game's 48 stages. In a non-traditional Breakout manner, Wizorb features townspeople in distress who need your help to rebuild their shops and houses. Potions, coins, and other power-ups sometimes fall from broken bricks, and all you have to do to collect them is slide the paddle underneath. Move the paddle left and right along the bottom of the screen, intercepting the bouncing ball to keep it in motion so it can clear the blocks it hits. It'll be the secret magic called Wizorb!Įven though it has a colorful coating of storylines and pixel art, Wizorb plays pretty much like every Breakout game before it.

But it won't be fireball spells or ice storm incantations that saves the world. As Cyrus, a well-versed wizard who is master of both white and black magic, it's your job to help the townspeople rebuild while fighting off dangerous foes. That is, until a really evil presence came along and was all 'BADNESS AND SMITE!'. The Kingdom of Gorudo used to be peaceful. Sound awesome? You bet your slow-moving paddle it is! Tribute Games wants to fix that egregious error with Wizorb, an 8-bit-styled Breakout clone that adds a little bonus fun on top with the addition of magic spells, a shop, and some minor RPG elements.

How long has it been since you played a game of Breakout or any of its numerous modern-day children? A year? Five years? A billion-dy hundred years? Thought so.
