Extreme Breakout September 14, 2009
Platform for Display:PC Download|Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun:   
Back when I was younger, we had a game called "Breakout." It involved moving a paddle to bounce a ball around on the screen; the ball broke down a wall of colored bricks. (It was also one of the first commercial designs of Steve Wozniak, the genius who invented the Apple ][ computer, but I digress.)

The game concept proved addictive, and variations came out. One, Arkanoid, had a variety of different paddles and balls that could be modified by catching powerups; bricks sometimes took more than one hit to clear, or would do other things. It was a good expansion on a great idea.

Ricochet continues that evolution. The bricks are now animated; sometimes they portray little scenes (a monster truck going over speed bumps) or have puzzles attached to them (you have to clear one area before unlocking another). There are so many things going on that it's really hard to explain, but the gameplay is smoother than any Flash-based Breakout variant (I've played a number and they all bite) and the boards are both challenging and fun. They aren't impossible, but it may take you multiple tries to get through a certain level.

You can also select the type of ship (that is, paddle) that you have. Some ships have options that make the game completely different, which means that some boards are easier with certain ships. Hey! Replay value! That's significant, because there are special gold rings in each board; if you don't clear them all you can go back and try for that last, hard-to-hit one.

The game is a lot of fun and sometimes overwhelming. One minor issue (which wasn't enough to dock any stars in the rating) was that the game ignores your "Full screen" setting-- it always starts windowed. You have to go to Options:Display:Full Screen to set that every time (unless you like the windowed mode). I hope they fixed this in the other Ricochet games; yes, there's quite a number, and I look forward to playing them all.

So, if you like those ball-bouncing games, spending five bucks on dozens of levels' worth of intense and well-crafted gameplay is a no-brainer. Get Ricochet Infinity; you won't regret it. If you're a more casual gamer, the thirty-minute trial should give you a good idea about whether you like it or not, but think of it this way, if you see a movie that's $20 for 90 minutes where you're not guaranteed a good time. So if you get 22.5 minutes of fun out of Ricochet Infinity, you've gotten your money's worth, though you'll have to make your own popcorn.

Instant Classic September 19, 2009
Platform for Display:PC Download|Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun:   
This game is the bomb and a couple scud missles. I don't play games that often on the computer, but this one keeps me playing for hours. There is so much to do. So many puzzles. I've been playing for 2 months now and have barely scraped the surface. The level editor is nice. And if you wanna have some intense multiplayer this game is dead on. Me and my boys huddled around my laptop and could not stop playing. They have the other Ricochet games for download on here. But this is by far my favorite. The others don't come close. I'm married with 3 kids and work during the night time. I don't have alot of time to myself but like to get a quick game here and there. To smooth my evening out I crank up Ricochet and play until the sun comes up. Awesome game. Expecially for the price. $4.99! You won't be disappointed.

Great Fun September 25, 2009
Platform for Display:PC Download|Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun:   
I love these ball-bouncing games and the Ricochet series is the best of the litter. Many levels, all different, plus access to a bunch of user-written games, which will keep the player occupied for many hours. There are also different levels of difficulty, which I appreciate since my reaction time isn't what it once was. This is probably the best and longest-lasting entertainment for the price that I've seen.
