Summary

Alleyway turns the classic brick‑breaker into a sci‑fi showdown. I pilot a tiny ship perched at the gate of the Alleyway, and an ominous energy ball hurtles toward me. Each time I bounce it back, the ball leaves a trail of atomized space‑grid fragments, turning the playfield into a glittering wreckage. The more I clear, the tighter the corridors become, pushing me toward ever‑more demanding targets. It’s a simple premise, but the sense of commanding a vessel against a relentless, glowing projectile makes every level feel like a miniature space‑battle.
