Smash bricks at warp speed in the updated version of Atari's classic break-breaking game, Breakout: Boost. We also have an 11-in-1 measuring tool kit for your iPad, and an app that allows you to gaze at the stars.

Try to avoid or take out your enemies to reach the end of each of the 80 levels. Any cheese you collect during your adventure can be used to purchase power-ups and new wardrobes. The game also includes an endless mode, four different worlds, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.
