'BBTAN2 by 222%' Review - Winter Break-Out
Developer 111% has been buttering their bread the last couple of years with their TAN series of games. They're simple games, many of them variants on the classic Atari game Breakout, with the most popular of the bunch being BBTAN by 111% [Free]. That game generally followed the Breakout formula, swapping out the familiar paddle at the bottom of the screen with a character who launches balls using a slingshot mechanism. It's a concept 111% has returned to once before with BBTAN: 7 YEARS [Free], and now they're back to it again with a sequel named BBTAN2 by 222% [Free].
The first game was an endless score affair, with each toss causing the overhead blocks to drop by one level. When they reached the bottom, it was game over. The goal was simply to last as long as you could to get a high score. BBTAN2 opts for a stage-based set-up, with just over 300 stages available at launch. Your goal in each stage is now to rescue the caged kids that are found among the familiar numbered blocks. Functionally, they work just like any other block, with a number indicating how many times you need to hit them to remove them from the field. Once you've freed all the kids in a level, your score is tallied and you are awarded with one of three medals. Some levels give you a limited number of shots to achieve your goal in, while others bring back the collapsing ceiling from the first game. Those aren't the only changes from the original game, however. Most of 111%'s games follow a monetization mode...
