Game Description
Bella Breakout V1.0 is a Direct X video game for Window 98, ME, 2000, XP and Vista computer
systems. It is based on many previous 'Breakout' games going back to the late 1980’s. The
game attempts to take the best ideas from previous games as well as some new ideas.
This game is FREEWARE! and was written over a period of 6 months in 2008.
The game features a variety of powerups as well as a groovy soundtrack

Playing the game:
Use your paddle to keep the ball(s) in the air. Loosing all the balls in play will cause you to lose
a life. When all your lives are lost, the game is over.
Remove all the bricks on the screen to gain points and continue to the next level. Catch various
Powerups as they travel down the screen. Some are good and some are bad.
At the beginning of each level, use the left mouse button to release the ball from the paddle.
You can also use the right mouse button to position the ball on the paddle.
At the end of the game you will get the chance to enter you name in the hi-score table, provided
your score is high enough.
Your current position in the hi-score table is shown by the pointer in the bar on the right side of

the bar represents 10th place. You’ll know when you get to first place
