Krakout is a breakout clone – that tried to capture the success of Arkanoid.
It is still quite a playable game to this day and the ball movement is still quite smooth which is the key thing with any breakout clone.
It played from the side rather than from the bottom which slightly differs from traditional breakout and you could also slightly configure the paddle
