Krypton Egg
Yet another Arkanoid clone, hooray!
But this one's done by demo sceners*, woooo! SO it's what you expect: nice technically, but as a game so-so. The game is full of rasters and samples (and naff palettes, as is the demo norm!), but the ball is very reluctant to change course no matter where it hits the paddle. So in essence you mostly have to keep the ball bouncing around and if it wants to it can change course. That really sucks as it makes the game uncontrollable. On the plus side the code can take quite a beating, just look at the screenshot where there's tons of sprites floating around (oh yeah you can gain the ability to fly around the level which is a lot of fun I must admit).
Nothing more to add, could have been a great game, but sadly it isn't.
Well at least that's what I remember, one (or all) of the Kral brothers were members of a demo group (might be TRB or Funvision - memory's really fuzzy nowdays).
