I picked it up a few weeks ago and have enjoyed it very much. It's free but you have IAP (In App Purchase) to get additional levels beyond the initial 20 or so levels. I thought it was a good value and lots of fun.

It's nice to see a new Breakout game, even if its on the iOS.

I should also mention that using your finger to move the paddle is very natural to do. I've tried playing the breakout games using a joypad or d-pad in the past and it just doesn't work.

X2 pce_collector! Breakout games are fun and Boost is cool!

gtmtnbiker,
the joystick and the d-pad work great with BREAKANOID on the 2600

Too true. Super Breakout for the 2600 is one of my all-time faves.

Me too, have to pick up a set of paddles so I can play on the 2600! Think the mouse works really well as a paddle in Stella though.
