Atari Breaks Out Breakout: Boost<\/em>TM<\/sup> for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>New Version of Classic Title Launches as Freemium Game with High-definition Graphics, Boost Control and More<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM \u2013 Dec. 15, 2011 \u2013 Atari, one of the world\u2019s most recognised publishers and developers of interactive entertainment, today announced the launch of Breakout: Boost\u2122<\/em> on the App Store. Available as a free download for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, Breakout: Boost<\/em> combines classic fun with new features such as Boost Control, which allows players to adjust ball speed on the fly and customise their brick-breaking experience. Five levels full of bricks to smash are included in the free download, with over 200 additional levels available through in-app purchases. Download Breakout: Boost<\/em> for free at http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/breakout-boost\/id476059948?mt=8<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Breakout: Boost<\/em> gives players the enduringly popular brick-breaking gameplay that Atari first brought to the market in 1976, alongside new, original features. In addition to new types of balls to break new types of bricks, players can experience Boost Control, a speed slider which can be used any time to slow down or speed up ball velocity. Faster speeds bring higher points for those who might look to compete on leaderboards, while slower speeds allow players of any skill level to complete levels at whatever pace they choose.<\/p>\n

Breakout: Boost\u2019s<\/em> key features include:\u00a0
\n\u2022 Boost Control allows players to manually adjust the ball\u2019s speed, scaling up the speed to increase the score multiplier\u00a0
\n\u2022 Five free levels and over 200 more unique brick layouts available in-app\u00a0
\n\u2022 Special ball upgrades to aid your destruction, such as the Fire, Acid, Splitting and Grenade balls\u00a0
\n\u2022 New and unique brick varieties standing in your way, including Exploding, Mystery, x4 and Metal\u00a0bricks
\n\u2022 Save and restore in-progress games, so you can stop and start at your convenience\u00a0
\n\u2022 Game Center and OpenFeint integration for score leaderboards and achievements\u00a0<\/p>\n
