To be honest, when I saw the name of this game, I was stunned for a moment. I am Arkanoid 6. The name is straightforward enough, but after I clicked in and played for half an hour, my eyes felt a little hot. Not to brag, this game reminds me of the classic game called "Arkanoid" on Symbian back in the day. At that time, the mobile phone screen was only 2 inches and I could count the pixels clearly, but I could play it all night long.
This game is actually not a traditional Arkanoid, it is more like a mashup of "Tetris + Arkanoid". You have four launch buttons. Shoot long blocks from the bottom to fill the vacancies in the four rows of bricks above. Fill one row and eliminate it. The rules are as simple as grandma's, but the speed gets faster and faster as you go, making it really confusing. I played about ten games, and the highest I scored was only 380 points, which is still far from the 1% of 500 points. To be honest, this difficulty is quite challenging, not the kind of mindless game.
The operation feels very comfortable, both click to launch and direct touch to launch, and the response is very fast. Although the picture is simple, there are special effects when the bricks are exploded, and the elimination of them is particularly relaxing. The game has no in-app purchases, no advertising pop-ups, and is clean and tidy, like returning to an era when games were just for fun. In many mobile games nowadays, you can easily draw cards, earn money, and watch ads, which makes you tired of playing. As for this game, you can play it when you open it, and you don't feel bad when you close it.
The developer, Nanjing Moye Network, I checked, is a quite low-key small factory. It is quite rare to be able to make a game of this pure style in 2024. Some people may think the graphics are too crude, but for an experienced player like me, it feels like a return to nature. Today's game graphics are getting more and more gorgeous, but the excitement of "just one life, how many points you get" is becoming less and less.
If you miss the old days of holding a Nokia and playing bricks under the covers, or simply want to find some spare time to relax, you might as well try this one. No strategy is needed, just move your fingers. Watching the bricks being eliminated line by line and the score rising little by little, I felt that sense of security that I haven't experienced in a long time. As I get older, I cherish this simple happiness even more. 😌
