A much appreciated improvement for an otherwise bland game
Reviewed By: Supergamerguy on 17 Jan 2022Alleyway isn’t all that special nowadays, even if it was one of the Gameboy’s launch titles. But this hack improves the experience enough to make Alleyway worth at least a try today. The colorization, of course, is the main draw here, and it mostly delivers with palette choices that make it shine (as well as being easy on the eye). There are a few sets of blocks that sport an annoyingly neon color scheme, but it’s not really that big of a deal overall. The level select is just as welcome as the full-color revamp, as no one wants to replay every level over again just to get back to where they were and figure out the optimal way to beat it. There’s no reason to ever play the original game again, and any Breakout fans or those with Alleyway nostalgia should play this instead.
