About the Game

After more than 5 million downloads, the king of break-out games is back in a special 20th Anniversary Edition. Seumas McNally's fan-favourite DX-Ball 2 has been re-mastered for modern PCs while retaining all of the classic brick-breaking action and unique graphic style of the late 90's original.

Features:
  • 150 Boards from the original Board Pack 1 (aka Full Version) plus the all-new anniversary boardset and widescreen variants.
  • New dynamic animated boards change as you play!
  • Switch between new high-res board textures or the original 90's graphics at any time.
  • 20 classic power-ups plus the all-new gravity-ball, lightning and more!
  • Shoot the ball extra fast to instantly break multi-hit bricks with the new punch paddle!
  • Move the ball from a distance with the gravity push/pull paddle.
  • Saved games allow you to save your progress and continue later.
  • Compete for the best score with new online leaderboards.
  • Includes editing tools and full workshop support for creating and sharing custom boardsets with the community.
  • Collect in-game charms for extra points and achievements.
  • Play in "Classic" mode with only the original features and graphics.
