Arcanoid is a classic arcade game that challenges players to remove bricks from a moving table using a magic ball. The goal is to destroy all the bricks before they reach the bottom of the screen, while avoiding obstacles like bats and enemies.
Gameplay involves controlling the magic ball with the arrow keys on the ZX Spectrum, as it bounces around the table in an attempt to clear the bricks. Each level becomes progressively more difficult as new bricks are added, and players must use their skills to time their shots perfectly to avoid missing a brick or hitting an obstacle.
