About this game

Crack is a Swiss-developed Arkanoid-style action game with a prehistoric theme. Players control bone-shaped bats and bounce a spherical stone through dinosaur-themed, pixel-painted scenes while clearing bricks.

The game supports one or two players simultaneously, including a battle mode, with mouse and joystick controls. Bricks may contain immediately activated pickups such as a laser gun, automatic bat navigation, an extra life, or a slow-ball effect. Only one pickup effect can be active at a time, and the current effect can be canceled with the right mouse button.

A comprehensive level editor is included. An optional coconut-catching bonus game can also be enabled from the main menu, placing players in control of a caveman with a pan as they catch falling coconuts within a time limit.
