Barkanoid 3 (0)

Barkanoid 3

Basics:
In Barkanoid 3 your task is to keep a ball (or more) in game as long as possible. 
To do that you need to use a bat and the balls mustn't leave the playfield at the lower end. 
The main goal is to destroy all bricks on the level using the ball to complete the level. 
There are also a lot of tools and aids available that easy your task a lot.

Specials:
The third part of Barkanoid is the most uncommon of them. 
There are a lot of extras and special function united. There are so many that they did not all make their way into the manual.  
Despite this, Barkanoid 3 has less levels than Barkanoid 2 or Barkanoid 3 Gold. 
Also there is only a crippled level editor included so you are not really able to create your own levels.  
Hits: Although the editor is crippled, the editor of Barkanoid 2 is compatible to Barkanoid 3...
Barkanoid 3 was available for a very short time only. Its successor Barkanoid 3 Gold was released only a very short time after Barkanoid 3. 
In that game you can refind the missing fully functional level editor, 300 levels and 100 user level! 
Sadly, almost all the funny easter eggs that made Barkanoid 3 are gone from Barkanoid 3 Gold.
