Indestructible BlocksĮach series as its own aesthetic of indestructible block. Lets consider a block that is half a bomb and half regular If there is a series of regulars touching the change block, once hit, the string of regular blocks will be changed to bomb blocks.

One half is composed of the block type that it is near and the other half dictates what those blocks will change into. These are blocks that have half of one block type on one side and half of one type on the other. The patterns of the levels often place bomb locks in a column, row, or other pattern that sets off the whole chain when one is it. Generally this block, once hit, blows up and destroys nearby blocks that it is touching. Bomb BlocksĪgain, the aesthetic changes but all bomb blocks have a beeping or singular light/indicator in the middle that signifies this block as a bomb. If both lights are activated, the block requires one more hit to be destroyed. However, the defining feature is that one of two lights turns on each time one of these blocks is hit. Three-Hit BlocksĪlthough the aesthetic changes, this block takes three hits to destroy. A one-hit block, once destroyed it drops either a good or bad power-up.

As a result, this block is able to be spotted for being a power-up block. This is a block type that has some sort of motion within the area of the block itself. The regular rectangular block that is destroyed upon one hit of the ion ball. There are multiple types of blocks that aren't all able to be destroyed. Each series has a different aesthetic and themes but the block types do not change. The game keeps track of players' progress in ten level chunks, which means that the game is checkpointed only once every ten levels. The stage is cleared once all blocks that are destroyable are destroyed. Also players have a limited number of balls that can be lost before it's game is over. Like Arkanoid, there are power ups that players can use. Depending on the type, the ball may or may not destroy it. Players have a ship that has a metal bumper above it that blocks an 'ion ball' that goes up and hits blocks.
