Atari and BIT.TRIP creator Choice Provisions have teamed up to reinvent one of gaming’s most iconic titles—and the result is Breakout Beyond, a high-octane reimagining that turns brick-breaking into an art form. Originally an exclusive for the disastrous and never released Amico console, this isn’t your grandpa’s Breakout—it’s a dazzling, combo-driven puzzle experience that flips the script (literally) on the 1976 arcade classic.
Sideways Smashing, Next-Level Strategy
Gone are the days of straightforward paddle physics. Breakout Beyond throws players into a fresh sideways perspective, where every ricochet matters. The goal? Shatter bricks with style, chaining combos that unleash eye-popping visual effects and pulse-pounding audio that intensifies with every skillful strike.
- Power-ups transform the chaos:
- Explosive blocks that clear entire sections
- Laser cannons for precision destruction
Protective barriers to buy precious seconds
72 Levels, Endless Possibilities
Whether playing solo or teaming up in local co-op (where friendly fire is half the fun), players will face:
- 72 handcrafted levels that evolve from satisfying to fiendishly clever
- Endless Mode with global leaderboards for competitive brick-breakers
- Focus Mode, trading speed for precision when the action gets too hot to handle
A Love Letter to Arcade Purists—With a Modern Twist
Choice Provisions’ signature flair is everywhere—from the dynamic procedural soundtrack that reacts to gameplay to the way the screen erupts in color as combos climb. It’s Breakout as you’ve never seen it: respectful of its roots but unafraid to innovate.
Platforms: PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One/Series X|S, PlayStation 4/5, and Atari VCS
Price: [Insert if available]
One thing’s certain—Breakout Beyond proves even the simplest concepts can feel brand-new again in the right hands. Ready to break more than just bricks? The revolution is live now.
