BreakThru is a side-scrolling shooter that was first released in the Arcades in 1986.
+ Checkpoints are very fair and they even carry over when you hit Continue after losing all of your lives.
- Unfortunately, the gameplay blows its load by showing you every enemy type within the first couple of stages.
- Action is extremely repetitive and frustrates players by relying too heavily on trial-and-error.
- You always feel weak as there's only one power-up which remains active for only a brief moment.
- Collision detection is questionable (likely caused by the slightly angled viewpoint) meaning spatial distancing is affected.
- The unpolished graphics look like a Colecovision game and the enemy stick-men sprites are laughably bad.
