DX-Ball 2: 20th Anniversary Edition

DX-Ball 2 is a brick-breaker where you move a paddle to keep a ball in play and clear boards of bricks. The edition includes 150 boards from the original Board Pack 1, an anniversary boardset, and widescreen variants.

Bricks can hide power-ups, and the game combines 20 classic effects with new options such as gravity-ball and lightning. New paddles can punch through multi-hit bricks or push and pull the ball; dynamic boards also change as you play. Classic mode uses the original features and graphics.

Save progress to continue later, collect charms for points and achievements, and compare scores on online leaderboards. Editing tools let you create and share custom boardsets, while graphics can be switched between high-resolution textures and the original look.

Reviewers often enjoy the game as a return to a familiar brick-breaker, with nostalgia for earlier play coming up repeatedly. They also praise the soundtrack, the variety of boards, and the satisfying core action, with some highlighting the power-ups and scoring as reasons to keep playing.
