The briefing

About this game

Krypton Egg is a Breakout-style arcade game developed by Hitsoft and published by Hitech Productions and HitSoft. Released in 1988, it challenges players to clear each level by bouncing a ball with a paddle and breaking every brick.

Bricks can contain a variety of random power-ups, including paddle size changes, additional or enlarged balls, paddle thrusters, and weapons that let the paddle shoot bricks. Some power-ups are beneficial, while others are harmful.

Monsters may appear on the playfield, interfering with the ball or destroying the paddle on contact. Every few levels, the game adds a special action sequence in which players defend against incoming monsters or fight a boss while avoiding missiles.
