Game story

Here is a brick breaker like game, inspired in the classic Arkanoid. The mechanics are well know by anyone as we’ve played many times this kind of games: clear all the bricks from the screen to reach the next level.

We also know that in brick breaker games some capsules come out from broken bricks and they give us extra features in order to make our mission easier. In Raftoid there are three different power-up capsule that will double points, glue the ball to the paddle or make the ball pass through bricks after breaking them.

There are 5 levels to beat in this game. Will you beat all of them?
