Tronic
Tronic is a little Breakout-clone with additional bells and whistles. Goal of
the game is to use a racket, controlled by arrow keys or mouse, to hit balls
that destroy bricks. When all the bricks for a level have been cleared, the
player will advance to a next level.
The racket can fire rockets at any time by using a ‘Gigablitz’ weapon. To
activate it, hold down the ‘Alt’-key and wait for an indicator to reach the
top. The trick is, in order to use Gigablitz, no balls must hit the racket, or
the Gigablitz sequence will be aborted.
When some bricks are hit, they release gadgets that can be collected. Many of
them enable more balls on screen, enlarge balls or let you advance to the next
level. Beware though, do not collect red-coloured gadgets as they can shrink
your racket, invert racket movement or substract points.
Finally Tronic also has a built-in level editor that lets you create, play and
save your own Tronic levels.
