Why we picked this?

Trixibrix is about as straightforward of a brick-breaking game as you’ll find, which is why we love it. The entire bottom half of the screen is devoted to your finger. Slide back and forth across the region to control you paddle. The moment your finger touches the screen the ball will be launched, so be ready! All of the bricks you need to break scroll across the screen continuously, requiring you to break until you can’t break anymore. Power-ups will also randomly appear, giving you a chance to earn multiple balls and lives back.

You like to compete with your friends for high scores on Game Center. You and your friends won’t get bored with it since the single side-scrolling level is endless brick-breaking fun.

You hated Brickles, Arkanoid, or Brick Breaker.
