Storybird has just released an update to and changed the name of it’s Arkanoid-style ball and paddle game, Ikanoid. The new name of this updated version is Space Buster [App Store]–and “for a limited time," the game is available as a free download to mark the update and name change.
Ikanoid Space Buster was the favored title in our early Arkanoid / Breakout game roundup.
With its excellent sound effects and responsiveness, it really provides a solid arcade feeling.
The availability of power up capsules are abundant, but aren’t so powerful that they necessarily detract from the basic gameplay.
The latest version features the following updates:
- 45 new levels (total 100)
- Bug fixes
- Faster engine
- Better physics
- Smoother framerate
- iPod background music support
- New background music tunes
- New product name
- New warp effect
- New loading screen
