Brick Blasting Fun!
Pilot your ship through over 150 levels using your shield and ion sphere to destroy bricks and solve puzzles!
Based on the classic PC game, Ricochet brings together problem solving and fast action as you frantically bounce your Ion Sphere off your ships shield and try to get it to destroy all of the blocks on screen. Discover bricks that move, explode, transform and even push other bricks away in your quest to complete the game.
