Brickochet is pretty challenging. It takes a good amount of skill/experience as well as some luck to be able to get through all 50 levels in one go. In a way, it has a strategic element depending where you initially direct your first few ball bounces -- can make an impact if you lose a life in some levels. I recommend experiencing every level at least once, likely through level select, just so you can be mentally prepared for some of the more tougher levels.

While the game is quite tough at some points, it also can be rather relaxing watching the ball hit bricks, blowing up stuff, and grabbing some pretty neat power-ups. The gameplay is solid, especially the accuracy of the various angles the ball can hit off the paddle. I’ve played a few other brick breaker games over the years, and I’ve yet to experience such high precision until now.

The only place I’d say is a minor downside is the music. For the most part the music fits with the “brick breaking theme,” but I find some tracks fall short and can get a tad annoying. But the music can be changed with the push of a button, or be turned off entirely.

In the end, this game is highly enjoyable and has a pretty good amount of replayability. For $2.99, you can’t go wrong with this one.
