Reinventing a classic everyone can enjoy — now even Slim owners. Upon popular request, I’m looking at you seanpaul223; The Underminer has introduced Sim compatibility to Galactic Breakout.

You know what I’m talkin’ about… Keep the ball in motion while busting bricks and collecting power-ups. It’s fun, it’s addictive, it’s Galactic Breakout!

Also, The Underminer has reset the online ranking system for extra competition. So have at it.

GBO v1.3 changes:

• Added PSP Slim support
• removed music due to technical difficulties (setting backgroundmusic to yes has no effect)

If you’re a non-Slim owner and you want some music, see here.

I intended to post this earlier, but after having recently developed an addiction to Brick Breaker on my Blackberry, this new homebrew game captured my attention quite easily. Finally being able to put my PSP aside for a moment, I’m proud to present… (probably deserves a drum roll) The Underminer’s Galactic Breakout! A game that truly resembles the arcade classic. Bust bricks, collect power-ups, cash, weaponry, you name it — just don’t miss the ball on its way back down!

The demo includes 20 out of 70 levels; the remaining 50 aren’t ready yet, but will be available in the [free] full version. Galactic Breakout also features a story mode, level editor, and online rankings.
