About this game
Aquanoid is a mouse-driven brick breaker by Stefan Heineke and Karsten Finger. Keep the ball in play and work through the coloured wall. Its illustrated help distinguishes ordinary blocks with different point values from special blocks and power-ups, including the various Terminator bonuses.
Wait for the title screen's menu links to appear. Click the help link to read the original control guide, or the start link to begin. The mouse controls the paddle and its left button is labelled Shoot. P pauses, T opens help and S changes sound. The Space key is the game's Tilt command, rather than the standard fire button.
The included update note identifies version 1.35. It explains that Escape removes the current player, while Shift with Escape returns to the title screen. Avoid using Escape as an ordinary pause key. Learn the coloured-block legend and keep the paddle aligned with the returning ball before reaching for a falling bonus.
