BreakThru! is a classic puzzle game for the Game Boy, where players will be challenged with their quick thinking and reflexes. The main objective in the game is to eliminate various colored blocks that appear on the screen by arranging them into groups of three or more contiguous blocks of the same color. When a group is formed, those blocks disappear, and the blocks above them fall down to fill the empty space, while new blocks appear from the top of the screen.
Players control a cursor or a pair of blocks, moving them left, right, and rotating them to create desired combinations. Points are awarded when blocks are destroyed. The game often features multiple modes, including a score-based mode, where you try to achieve the highest score possible, or a level-based mode, where you must complete a specific objective (e.g., clear a certain number of blocks or reach a specific line) before time runs out or the screen fills up.
Occasionally, special blocks or power-ups will appear, helping players clear larger areas or create impressive chain reactions (combos), leading to higher scores. The challenge gradually increases as the block drop speed or the complexity of the levels increases. BreakThru! demands careful planning and quick decision-making to avoid the screen filling up, which leads to a game over. It's an addictive title, perfect for those who enjoy simple yet engaging puzzle games.
