About

Magical Brickout is a single player casual puzzle game. It was developed by Cunning Force Games and was released on October 16, 2016. It received negative reviews from critics and mostly positive reviews from players.

Magical Brickout offers a new twist on the beloved classic Breakout formula.

The graphics of the game are generally well-received, with users appreciating the simple yet appealing art style and smooth rotation of the game field. While the visuals are described as decent and polished, some players feel there is room for improvement. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the fun and engaging gameplay experience.
- “I love this, it's a ton of fun and something that looks great even with the simple graphics. It's an arcade game where you break these objects to release the fairies that are stuck inside. Simple enough, though very hard to master, there's a lot of levels to keep you entertained for hours. Can you free those fairies?”
- “Novel concept and decent graphics, though.”
- “The game field rotates smoothly (though I wish there was an option to make it turn more quickly). The art style is good, the polish is passable though not excellent, and the music is actually surprisingly stellar.”

A frustrating game based on an interesting idea, poor execution and small niggles add up to make this a deeply unpleasant experience.
