That looks really nice, funny how some particles and a tune lifts even old classics.

Thanks. Yeah really there is not that much that was added (compared to what could be!) but it definitely made a nice difference I think. Different sounds, music, an abstract backdrop, some color glow sequencing on the blocks, trails on the balls, and the particle FX for block destruction. About 50/50 time on polish and gameplay improvements. Powerups, multiball, lasers and a fair amount of playtesting & balancing.

I'm hoping someone else picks it up and carries it forward with even more enhancements. :)

Looks great, it was nice to see the evolution via YouTube too.  :good:
Cheers,

Thanks. Link to the source is in the first post for anyone who wants to enhance it a bit more. :)
