A brick-breaker with two presentations: a lit, high-detail Modern arena, and a faithful Classic port of a 1990s Amiga game, original art and music included.
Windows may show a SmartScreen warning because the build is not code-signed yet. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
Same board, two looks
Both cards show board 7 of TheOriginal, and the rules underneath are the same. Switch any time in Options → Presentation: Modern, Retro (Classic), or Auto.
Bricks, ball and paddle are real 3D objects under a key light, on boards that rotate and lean while the play stays on a flat plane.
A faithful port of MegaBall by Ed Mackey and Al Mackey, built from its 2012 Apache-2.0 source release, with its original artwork, sound effects and music.
What's inside
Bricks drop tokens to catch: lasers, a wider paddle, magnetism, dynamite, an extra life, or a skull that costs you one. The in-game Pieces screen explains all fourteen.
Paint boards with the original bricks using mirror, turn and diagonal symmetry brushes, with multi-level undo and autosave. Playtest a board straight from the editor.
Seven sets of 20 to 50 boards, with high scores kept per set. Import .BDS reads any board file made for the original, including community sets.
Two players share one computer and take turns, handing over each time a ball is lost, just as the original did.
Resolution, window mode and V-Sync; anti-aliasing from off to 8x; separate master, music and effects volume.
Reduce motion turns off screen shake and tones down particle bursts. Ball trail, brick particles and paddle flash each have their own switch.
