The concept behind the game is like many others you have probably seen and played…….KILL!!!! But BATALIA adds a twist. You are pitted against another live victim who is sitting next to you on the keyboard.

 

So if you are behind in the HIT-POINT department you can always reach out and physically hurt your opponent, this helps your deep seaded sub-concious, NOT YOUR SCORE!! I repeat: NOT YOUR SCORE!!

This is a very Spartan, minimalist Arkanoid clone by the French demogroup Eclipse. You bounce the ball with the paddle at the bottom of the screen, trying to destroy all blocks on the playing field.

 

One hit from the ball will remove regular blocks, two hits are required for marked blocks. There are no falling bonuses and only three spare balls (lives).

 

The game’s high difficulty comes from the speed at which the ball moves. It may slow down depending on the angle at which it bounces from the paddle, but is generally very fast. (Description by MrFlibble)

A game that tests your reflexes as you attempt to guard a castle of sorts from a drug-crazed bouncing ball. You have at your disposal a crude but effective bat and (hopefully) nerves of steel.

 

Your castle is surrounded by a brick wall which quickly crumbles when hit by the malevolent ball. Defend it valiantly, for a hit to the pretty blocks at its core will lose you a life.

The idea is to avoid crashing into anything. If you ram your dot into another player or your own trail, you’ve lost the round.

 

If you have chosen to have a border around the screen, you will have to avoid that too.

Your aim is to take control of the largest area of the board, which is done by moving your pieces so as for them to be next to pieces of another colour, which will then become your colour.

 

There are three types of move – short moves which also see you retain the square you were in, jumps in which you lose the previous square, and moves using the teleporting device to move a larger distance.
