Featuring 135 diverse levels spanning over 10 unique modes, Nervous Brickdown turns classic brick-breaking gameplay on its head by taking players into other retro gaming worlds such as intense space shooters, action platforms, and scary haunted houses. Do everything from controlling submarines or blowing the ball into bricks to taking on boss monsters.

Designed especially for the Nintendo DS, Nervous Brickdown takes full advantage of the DS’ hardware utilizing the dual screen, stylus, and microphone to present a wonderful visual style, charming soundtrack, and unique gameplay features which breathes new life into the brick-breaking genre.

Nervous Brickdown is developed by Arkedo Studios, and will be available this summer 2007.
