Arkanoid DS

The player controls the "Vaus", a spaceship that acts as the "paddle" of the game. It prevents a ball from falling off the playing field by trying to make it bounce against a row of bricks. If the ball hits a brick, it disappears. When all the bricks have disappeared, the player moves on to the next level, where a different pattern of bricks appears. There are a number of variations (bricks that must be hit multiple times, flying enemy ships, etc.) and power-up capsules to improve the vaus (expand the vaus, multiply the number of balls, equip a laser cannon, go directly to the next level, etc.), but the gameplay remains the same.
