[Searching] Brick-Breaking Game on Windows XP (2000s)

[yoyo2000]

Hello everyone,

I am searching for a brick-breaking game that I played on Windows XP, likely in the early 2000s. This game holds great sentimental value to me, and I have been looking for it for a long time.

Here are the details I remember: It had a Scores menu, where you could track your progress. The game featured a prison, connected to freeing scores. At the end of each level, balloons would float away, which was a unique visual detail. The gameplay was similar to classic brick-breaking games but had its own original and immersive mechanics.

This game is very important to me, and I would be truly grateful for any clues or suggestions to help me find it. Please take the time to check my post—any insights could make a huge difference in my search. Thank you so much!

I may have the game you're referring to.
Look through my list of games of those years here.
There's quite a few brick breaking games there. DX Ball, Richchet, and lesser known ones. Let me know if you need one of them, cheers.

Hello everyone, I'm still searching for an old PC brick-breaker game I played in the 2000s — possibly on Windows XP or even MS-DOS. The most memorable part was the high score menu, which appeared in a dark room with prison cages in the background. After each level, there was an animation where balloons would float upwards with strings, in a pixelated style.

I've created a visual concept image to help jog memories: (Attach the image or paste a link here)

If anyone has played or even seen a game with this kind of atmosphere or visuals, I'd be extremely grateful for any leads — even partial ones.

Thank you so much, — Yoyo2000
