Ikanoid Drops to $0.99, Lots More Features

In July, Touch Arcade reviewed all the available Arkanoid / Breakout games on the iPhone and concluded that Ikanoid [App Store] was the best of the bunch.
With it’s responsiveness, great sound effects and arcade feel, we felt it was the best Arkanoid version at the time — by a wide margin. It appears the only issues we had with the game have been addressed in subsequent versions. Now at version 1.4, new features since our original review include:
- Global high scores
- Ability to start at any level you’ve already made it to
- Background music, volume controls
On top of all these features, Ikanoid has dropped in price from $2.99 to $0.99. It was a good deal at the time, and an even better deal now. Our original review also provides a gameplay video.

I picked this up, and I’m really enjoying it. Thanks for the tip!

yeah, me too - it’s a nice pick-up-and-play game, like Galcon.
That said, this is yet another example of how being patient pays off when it comes to app pricing.

This is a great Breakout-style game and the best in the App store so far, but when will we be seing a Breakout game like todays offerings for PC?

And I also love Space Out. Fun, challenging, and worth it!
