Escaped from a doomed mothership, you control the Vault, a spaceship that serves... as a paddle to send the ball to break bricks!

Arkanoid is considered as an evolution of Breakout. The concept is similar: make sure the ball never goes past the bottom of the screen, by making it bounce back on the "ship" that you control.

Arkanoid adds bonuses falling from some bricks when they are cleared, such as sticky ball with which you can move around and press a key to release the ball, instead of it bouncing instantly away, as well as everybody's favorite - the laser cannon, letting you shoot away the bricks directly (while not forgetting the ball, shall we?)

With 36 levels in stores and no continues, this is a classic game that most players with a controller in that era of time remember.

A full ROM hack meant to take full advantage of what Arkalavista could do. It includes several new levels, new graphics, and a speedup patch that doubles the Vaus' (paddle's) speed by 2x, making it slightly more playable without the Arkanoid Vaus controller (which only a handful of emulators support)

UPDATE (7/23/2014): Difficulty tweaks in some levels and redesigned DOH boss room.

UPDATE (7/24/2015): Updated the graphics in this new patch.

UPDATE (8/28/2015): Difficulty Tweak in Level 13
