Well, it took two years to reply, but I'm pleased to say this game works perfectly now. It's a very unusual breakout; which is my main requisite for buying new breakouts these days because I have hundreds of this genre collected over the years since I first purchased one back in the early 90's.
I do intent writing a review of this game over on Steam at some point (again, when I get the time; at the moment I'm trying to arrange a visa to visit my family in Australia; I've just lost my uncle a few days ago and want to attend the funeral).
I'll also be recommending this whenever their is a game given away via the game giveawayoftheday project site, where I often post reviews of games. whenever a breakout is given away I tend to post recommendations for other breakouts to check out. This will be included from now on.
:)
Stay safe
