Pretty much exactly what you expect, they turned Breakout into a Survivor-like/Bullet Heaven/whatever you want to call it.

Rally off increasingly difficult waves as you pick upgrades to your ball, paddle, add extra ball types, health drops between waves, etc. etc. As far as a mindless time killer, this one is pretty good because runs are fairly short and (at least for me) the game is quite challenging. Not only do you have to avoid missing balls and waiting for them to respawn, but you also often have to prioritize which ones you want to rally, if you want to go for the exp drops, and of course which angle you want to hit the balls at.

The game isn't too deep and there aren't a ton of unlockables, but if you like Breakout and you like this genre twist, it's worth picking up at its already fairly low price.
