I got this game for free somehow; however, make that emphasis on FREE as don't pay for it if they're selling it.

The scenarios are dark, and this is harder on the eyes. The levels are also a little more difficult and less fun than Ricochet Lost Worlds Recharged.

I would never have known the first thing about this game if I had not come across it available for free. Of course, my expectations were not very high at all, but I figured I would give the game a shot and just remove it if it proved to be as lousy as most other free games I've tried in the past. I soon discovered, though, that Ricochet Extreme is actually a pretty fun and challenging game. I started out in Easy mode, and the further I advanced in the levels, the more I wondered what the game designers could possibly throw into the mix next. The basic concept of the game could hardly be simpler: you just bounce these little balls (which can ricochet all over the place) off of your paddle controller in order to take out a bunch of bricks on the screen. As you progress from one level to the next, though, a variety of different kinds of bricks make their appearance, and all kinds of power-ups make things more and more interesting (and challenging). You've got your fast and slow power-ups, your shrink and enlarge ball power-ups, your laser gun power-up, your magnetic ball-catching power-up, your multiple-ball power-up, and the list goes on. I can't tell you what kinds of crazy things can happen in the higher levels because I was born with some lousy hand-eye coordination genes, but I do enjoy trying to get to those higher levels.

To be honest, this is not a game I would actually purchase, even for a few dollars, but I do enjoy wasting time playing it. It is fun enough and challenging enough to appeal to children as well as adults (there are four different difficulty levels), and the graphics are actually pretty cool. I don't think I'm going to be uninstalling this little game any time soon.
