Arkanoid

As an aged arcade game fan, I both revisited the nostalgia with Arkanoid on Play123. The goal is simple but engaging: break all the bricks, and control your paddle so that the ball keeps bouncing back for more. This old-school classic from Taito has been a multimedia staple for arcade enthusiasts everywhere, and the transition to an online format has reignited the soft obsession that started decades ago.

Others get brief moments of joy when they notice similarities to other such games they’ve played in the past, while there are still those who are pleased with how familiar it is. The screen clears and you settle back in to better your time again, or rather your score, as your results can also be saved here on Play123. However, not all players have been able to run the game on tablets, so that’s something to keep in mind for device compatibility.

For arcade-style distraction, mixed with a bit of strategy and quick reflexes, Arkanoid strikes a sweet spot. For fans of the genre if you love arcade cabinet classics you can play Pinball Brick Mania and lots more too.

In a nutshell, Arkanoid on Play123 isn’t without its quirks, but delivers the classic arcade experience that casual gamers can turn to when they have a few minutes to kill with a title that lies somewhere between challenging and entertaining.
