A Breakout clone, incomplete (3 levels) and nothing out of the blue. It's been done way better.

The third game written by Friedrich Zohmann, and his final game. This is a Breakout clone with only three levels, it was left unfinished as Zohmann defected to the Commodore 64 and sold all of his Spectrum stuff. It's the most colourful game but them as a Breakout clone it would need to be colourful, but the physics are definitely not right for a Breakout clone. When the ball hits the blocks from the side it's suppsed to rebound off them, this one doesn't and instead proceeds to go though them and hit all the blocks in that particular row which simply does not happen in Breakout at all. The ball only moves in four directions but that was a problem with other Breakout games so I won't hold that against him. It's certainly not the worst Breakout game I've seen but it's still pretty bad. Indeed when you finish level 3 level 4 does load up but when you start it it says you won the game. And there you have it, Friedrich Zohmann's complete Spectrum catalogue and hardly a redeeming quality in sight. Really, it's no wonder for the poor fella moved to C64 but saying that I found nothing on him regarding C64 work so indeed this may have been his final game ever.
