CRACKHEAD is a 2D arcade brick-breaker. Keep a ball in play to smash blocks and clear a series of stages.
Stages use different layouts, obstacles, hazards, and objectives. The game also includes multiple modes and local split-screen play.
Later stages introduce more elaborate challenges. A level editor lets players design custom stages beyond the included content.
Some reviewers enjoy the straightforward, quick-to-pick-up brick-breaker action and its silly humor; others praise the energetic soundtrack and colorful, fast-paced presentation. One detailed review also highlights the modes, split-screen play, and level editor. Reactions are mixed, with complaints including difficulty and visually overwhelming effects.
Crackhead is a hardcore 2D breakout challenge packed with psychedelic party energy, strange levels, and game modes that will test both your reactions and your patience. Smash through bricks, keep the ball alive, and try to stay in control when the screen turns into complete chaos.
Play through a variety of modes, take on the challenge alone, or bring someone along for local shared-screen play. Whether you are competing, cooperating, or just trying not to ruin each other’s run, things can get intense fast.
Think you can complete each game mode without cracking your head? Good luck.
Crackhead also includes a built-in level editor, so when the official levels are no longer enough, you can create your own layout and make the next trip as brutal or ridiculous as you want.
And if you launch the game during December, make sure to check out the Christmas arcade level, which is available only for the festive season.
