\"Little Gods\" game

is the debut game from independent developer Grim Inventions Interactive. Two players (human or computer opponents) face off in six vivid arenas "alive with atmosphere and motion." Players choose from six characters and duel their way through nearly 80 levels. "Bricks swoop and spin, explode and move in all kinds of ways, creating a dynamic and highly interactive field of play." Nine power-ups allow players to strategically choose when and where to use them. The game comes with a level editor so players can make new levels and share them with other users. "If you like Breakout or Arkanoid but you are tired of the same old game with different artwork, the answer to your prayers has just materialized in the form of Little Gods," the developer says. The game is available immediately for $20.
