- Five level demo of a fun new "Breakout" clone. I'm sure you will of all
- played one of the many PD clones that have been around for years. The
- gameplay is simple ... you try and destroy a wall of bricks by bouncing a
- ball off them, simple YES but great FUN.
-
- In Splat you control, via the mouse, a cute little crab. Move your crab
- at the bottom of the screen from left to right to deflect a bouncing ball.
- This ball will destroy shoals of fish, but beware certain fish require
- several hits. Once the entire shoal are gone you will move onto the next
- level where a different pattern of fish will await you. Bonuses are
- collected and either used straight away (panic city) or saved until a
- greater effect is indicated on a panel above the main playing area.
- Select the powerup you require with the right mouse button, powerups are:
-
- * Slow down movement of ball.
- * Double crab size. (ouch!!)
- * Sticky crab. (nasty)
- * Triple crab size. (no comment)
- * Hot ball, cuts through everything no bounce.
-
- A startup menu is used to select the game speed, so it's ideal for beginners
- or game guru's and will appeal to any age group. Splat also features some
- great soundFX.
