Ooparts

Ooparts Prototype

I came across this game while looking for brick-breakers with more elaborate fantasy-style backgrounds, not realizing it was an unreleased prototype. Not much is known about this game, there was one preview of it in a magazine and it wasn't heard of again until it was released online a few years ago.

The story is that two chosen sorceresses must close ancient monuments to keep the world from being turned into a wasteland. It's a science-fantasy brick breaking game with some pinball-esque elements. You destroy enough "things" (unsure which things) to reveal a boss, and once you do that you end the level by snagging a glowing treasure. You can cast magic spells. Some are interesting, including a giant wave that washes down. You can also strike the edges of the screen to nudge (and eventually, break through to the other side). There are six planet-themed levels. This is definitely one of the more visually-interesting games in this genre.
