Atari Adds Romance To The Classic Brick Breaking Arcade Game With New Valentine's Levels
February 7, 2012
Just like during the other major holidays, at least in the U.S., iOS app developers have been pumping out Valentine's Day content updates. On a somewhat unexpected move, Atari has decided to jump in on the seasonal update fun. Added to their retro arcade game, Breakout: Boost, earlier today was the Valentines level pack.
The Valentines pack includes 50 romantically-themed levels. The blocks are configured to form pixelated images of heart-shaped candies with messages, a man proposing, a "Be Mine" sign, and so on. Breakout wouldn't be complete without a power-up, right? Cupid’s Arrow works like a few other power-ups, destroying bricks with less strikes.
In addition, Atari has added the Game Center achievement "Playing With The Queen Of Hearts," complete all 50 Valentines levels, and a Game Center leaderboard to accompany the new groups of levels.
Breakout: Boost is a universal app compatible with iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch running iOS 4.1, and available in the App Store as a free download. Level expansion packs are available via in-app purchase for $0.99 each.
