It's a Breakout clone. Yep.

While being a namesake of Block Kuzushi 2, both games actually have completely different levels.

Copyright String

  • For the European localization, the background artwork was amplified, and all copyright information that is not Phoenix Games' is removed. Seems it was a rather poor job, as the Phoenix logo overlaps with the start button prompt.
