Hyperballoid Deluxe is a breakout game, but at least two of the three game modes aren't ordinary.

The traditional game mode plays and looks like you expect. You have a paddle and a screen filled with rectangular bricks forming a certain structure. You fire a ball from your paddle to the structure, destroying bricks on ball impact. You use the paddle to bounce the ball back into the playfield when it's about to leave the bottom of the screen. Once all bricks are gone, you proceed to the next level. When you lose all your lives, you have lost the game.

The other two game modes, Exotic and Extreme, feature not only rectangular bricks but all sorts of geometric figures like triangles, circles, squares, ellipses and more. Even different-sized bricks are possible here. This allows the creation of correctly-looking trees, clouds, and other tiny things, but also in the level size, like a level, which looks like a clock. Furthermore, motion is possible here. Predefined bricks may move a certain way, loose bricks (which don't break apart on first impact) may fly away on impact, etc. So, back to the clock example: the clock's hands are moving.

The game itself offers plenty of power-ups, like paddle shrinker/expander, ball speed increase/decrease, 3-ball, 8-ball, level skipper, different-sized balls, different weapons (laser, gun, etc.), and much more. All in all, there are 25 different power-ups.

Furthermore, you have the chance to play through 150 different levels on three difficulty settings.
