The legendary block breaker is back. Both retro mode and new design are fun!
“Arkanoid” is an “evolved block smasher” that appeared in the 1980s.
It was a revolutionary game in which the previously inorganic “bar” was likened to a spaceship, and various gimmicks such as enemies and items were added.
“Arkanoid Eternal Battle” is a game where you can enjoy both the nostalgia of those days &advanced battles and graphics!
Simple gameplay that anyone can enjoy
The basics are just “move the bar left & right (with dash key)” & “simple one button action”!
Most of the game operations involve moving the bar left & right to bounce the ball back.
But…the hot one is “block smasher”.
Where on the bar should I hit it & at what angle will it be reflected?
Since the reflection from the wall is constant, even if the speed of the ball increases, you can still read where it reaches the bar!
I really want to throw the ball into a narrow space!
It’s quite strategic.
In addition, as a feature of the “Arkanoid” series…
Strengthen your machine with items. The bar extends & shoots a beam
An enemy appears. When hit, the ball’s trajectory changes
If you don’t die, the speed of the ball will increase
These elements bring r&omness to the game.
Let’s all line up & break the blocks!
Among the many game modes, offline 4-player battles are possible in the following modes.
VERSUS mode
Compete in split screen mode using the rules of “NEO” mode described below!
Play stages with the same layout at the same time. The first person to clear the stage wins, aiming for 5 wins.
You can interfere with other players by taking the spherical items.
This game takes advantage of the advantages of offline play, where you can see everyone’s progress at a glance.
Other modes are also fun!
NEO mode
Arkanoid exclusively for solo play that can be enjoyed with “evolving graphics.”
You can play stylish games with flashy productions & thrilling BGM.
Unlike RETRO, some items are accumulated without being replaced…
If you continue to survive, the balls will become extremely fast, & various item effects will mix & match, creating a huge mess. A flashy screen!
RETRO mode
A solo play-only mode where you can enjoy the original 1980s Arkanoid as it is.
Simple screen, inorganic sound effects.
The screen is greatly curved because it reproduces the arcade cabinets of the time.
Dads & moms, let’s enjoy the nostalgia!
Eternal Battle mode
The main mode, which bears the subtitle of this game, allows for 25-player online battles.
The ranking changes depending on the score, but the “screens of the players in the immediately adjacent ranking” are lined up in small rows on the left & right.
The layout changes constantly as the ranking changes, resulting in a very stylish screen composition.
As time passes, the lowest ranked players are eliminated. A boss battle awaits at the end.

It feels good when the ball goes into the narrow passage and doesn't come back easily! When the balls split, the tension increases for some reason, and in the end, you can only chase one ball! Such nostalgic experiences will be revived!
Also...the logo looks cool even now!
