After following the full development cycle of this breakout gem, I decided to pick up the gloves and play it through. The content itself is deeper than it would first appear, so I really encourage everyone to grind through and see the complete story unfold. Dreamstones really delivers where it should, retaining the classic breakout gameplay while literally building a world and continuity on top, ensuring that the content keeps a fresh feel on every gaming session.

Yes, the game does provide a major challenge at times, leading to an enraging frustration (that could lead to accute broken fingers due to the induced wall punching), but this is then again completely fair and ties in perfectly with the nature of the retro classic and in my personal opinion testifies of proper and well balanced game design, as the feeling of penalty is always a direct consequence of a player's action.

A proper sense of "fair defeat" is rare in modern day gaming and it is trully a brave move to march in against the stream of player-pampering. Indeed, it is presently commonstay for players to feel invincible, making it hard to accept they are being outsmarted by a game. In conclusion, I would thus like to congratulate WindyBeardGames for creating a captivating, audiovisual masterpiece with proper and responsive gameplay.
