Ballz
The breakout game is one of the oldest concepts in the video game universe and yet, it often happens that someone manages to reinvent it by adding simple little touches, from the simple power-up game breaker to the revolutionary gameplay.
Ballz rather falls into the second category since here it is not a question of preventing the balls from falling to the ground, but just of breaking bricks requiring a certain number of blows before bursting while collecting new balls which will make the next round easier. To try urgently.

Small twist to the formula, beyond the presence of Pikachu and Charizard: some characters will evolve as the game progresses and you will have to fight other Pokémon on the map embodied by the AI to gain strength.
