About this game

Crack-Up is an action arcade game based on the classic Arkanoid-style formula. Move the bat along the bottom of the screen, bounce the ball upward, and clear the bricks to advance through the levels.

Some bricks release falling icons that can change the course of play. These include options to move to the next level, catch the ball, create double balls, extend the bat, equip a laser bat for shooting bricks, slow the bat, or award an extra life.
