Rich bounces into Breakout Beyond on his freshly baked Nintendo Switch 2. This game is a fresh take on the classic brick-breaking game, developed by Choice Provisions (known for the Bit.Trip series) and published by Atari. Instead of the traditional vertical gameplay, this version flips the formula sideways, making players progress horizontally through neon-drenched levels.
The game features 72 levels, each with unique puzzles and special blocks that grant power-ups like explosive blasts, protective barriers, and even a laser cannon. Players can rack up combos to intensify the visual and audio effects, creating a spectacular light show. There's also a focus mode that slows down time for precision shots, though it comes at the cost of your score multiplier.
For those looking for an extra challenge, Breakout Beyond includes an endless mode with global leader boards, allowing players to test their skills against the best. Plus, local two-player co-op lets you team up with a friend for double the brick-breaking chaos.
