Pretty Girls Breakout!
How do we make Breakout more fun and innovative?
I know, let’s add a bunch of annoying features and throw a whole bunch of shit at the player so they’re just constantly mashing the swing button and can’t properly aim. Everyone loves when you take the skill out of game and make it so it’s pure luck. Also, no paddle. You have to swing a bat at the ball.
I’ll admit, Zoo games are not that… deep. Lots of them are cookie cutter and share UI and characters so if you seen one you’ve kind of seen them all, but the games are usually so classic that you can’t really muck them up. Casio card games, various forms of Mahjong, some random puzzles games. Simple games that are cheap that you usually buy because you like the genre and you figure why not add some cute anime girls to them for the heck of it. Pretty Girls Breakout felt more annoying than fun and I actually do kind of like Zoo games. Even the ones I don’t like I kind of just see as innocent fun, but… I just didn’t like this.

Really nice game in which You have to select and take over areas. I’d say that the genre is very simple (I even forgot that this kind of games existed as I played games like this around 10 years ago) but in this game every level feels unique. There’s story mode with 3 stages for each girl and if You want it You can install optional free patch that adds nudity. There’s also arcade mode with global scoreboard which is kinda mid-level difficulty to get top score in because of the score multipliers being bigger with difficulty increased. I’ve got 4th place playing every level on hard but I kept dying on one level so I gave up. The art style is nice and gameplay is satisfying as long as You don’t grind arcade mode for top scores and keep dying in the same level. Difficulty changes include changes to player/enemy movement speed, negative bonuses from boxes and scores multipliers (x1, x2, x4). If You’re aiming for good score the game can be really hard with each level unique mobs movement and attack patterns. Here’s an example of one of the unique bosses
! in one level there’s a guy yelling to his father to stop downloading while he’s playing and the game keeps freezing every few seconds saying “waiting for other players” Girls and bosses have voice acting which is really nice. Overall I recommend buying it on a sale as the story mode is 1-2 hours and not everyone’s gonna grind arcade mode for score. I think I spent too much time doing it as I kept dying many times which resulted in 8 hours of total gameplay until I finally decided to just play it on easy to get the achievements and finish the game.

Great game! Brings back memories of playing the original prototype known as Gals Panic back at selected arcades in the 1990’s. Honestly no one cared back then when a swarm of teens were over the Gals Panic arcade cabinet in the imported arcade wing at the local arcade. Giving this game an adult content rating is a bit strong in my opinion even with the optional complementary adult add on. The complementary adult add on adds nice visuals that are tastefully done. Nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion. I’ve seen much more graphic adult instances in general anime. What is so taboo about showing a adult-cartoon body? However, violence, foul language/profanity, death, and body part decapitation is perfectly normal in the majority of modern video games these days.
