addictive classic for short gaming sessions
Alleyway is a simple yet addictive arcade game where you control a sort of paddle to break blocks. It plays like the old classic Breakout. It features various levels and an increasing difficulty, just as it should. Perfect for a few quick games. After that, my eyes get tired from following the ball on the black-and-white screen. This genre of game doesn’t have much depth, but the straightforward controls and concept are just fun for a few minutes in between, like when the pots are on the stove or something. If you enjoy the Breakout concept, you’ll definitely have fun with this.
