Hairspray, Neon, & Nostalgia!

Take a trip back to the dimly lit arcades of the 80s. Experience frenetic gameplay as you guide the Radical Paddle at the bottom of the screen to destroy the bricks at the top with a FLAMING BALL! Catch Powerup Capsules to store an awesome ability in the Radical Paddle, and unleash it at the right time with the press of a button. Marvel at the cutting edge use of CIRCLES and RECTANGLES! A whopping 4 channels of sound will melt your eardrums with every explosion! So, what are you waiting for? Drop a quarter in the slot, wave the haze of cigarette smoke away from the screen, and get down to business.
