As I wondered around aimlessly over the net, suddently I found this game. A good ol game that I and my colleagues used to plays during our studies at the university. I know you guys will love this game so much that we all did. Infact, it can release some of your tension. Just have fun with it.
DX-Ball
DX-Ball is a free arcade game by Michael P. Welch. It has got to be the best Breakout-style game ever. The object of the game is to bounce your ball around the screen with your paddle, breaking bricks, collecting points and power-ups as you go. Once all the bricks are destroyed, you move to the next level. If you drop the ball, you lose a life. The game has 50 different levels, lots of power-ups and in-game music.
