Break Bricks Fly Free is a game design love-letter to Hyperball (1998), where the player commands a demolition drone, on a mission to free trapped souls from an abandoned (and haunted!) mansion.

In addition to the typical mechanics of a Breakout/Arkanoid clone, this game features booster pads for changing the direction of the ball mid-flight, an assortment of powerups, allied creatures to assist you, and enemies to obstruct you!

There are 40 levels to clear, with a series of checkpoints every couple of levels for saving progress.
