Publisher's description of Ricochet
From Reflexive Entertainment:Inspired by classic arcade games such as Arkanoid and Breakout, Ricochet takes brick-busting to a new level. Armed to the teeth with a variety of power-ups (both good and bad), guide your shielded ship back and forth, destroying the bricks with an ion sphere. Ricochet also tracks statistics for each player, allowing you to compete not only for score, but also for completion time, ball speed, and career totals. These statistics can be exchanged over the Internet in a master high scores list or in private groups you create to compete against your friends and family.

Version: Ricochet 1.3.SW
"For its size the graphic are amazing."
Pros: The graphic and ever changing game play are the true sellers. It seams every level intro duces a new challenge or new weapons. Ever level is a new adventure.
Cons: None, Truely a game for all ages and skill levels.

Version: Ricochet 1.3.SW
"Great Game, Scammed on purchasing Key Code, Out $20"
Pros: The demo was great! I loved it. So, I bought it by choosing the purchase option in the game. However, I never received the key code or any email confirmations. As best I can tell, there is no way to tell what the key code is.
Sure enough, I bought a new computer. Now I'm stuck because I have to pay the fee again to get a registered version or the new computer.
I contacted Reflexive, who produces the game, and explained that the vendor I paid is not replying. Apparently Reflexive leases the game out to outside vendors to collect the money.
The vendor is SoftWrap.
This is Reflexive's exact response:
"SoftWrap and Reflexive are two separate companies. You will need to contact SoftWrap for further assistance."
As you can see, ABSOLUTELY NO HELP.
Issue is unresolved.
If you dont mind paying $20 over and over again, then I'd say purchase the game.
They'll screw you.

Pros: I've been playing the full version virtually every day for two years and it never gets old because members have access to an infinite number of downloadable user-made rounds that just keep coming and coming -- constantly pushing the envelope in what seems like a limitless range of astounding graphic and dynamic possibilities. It's as stable as a rock, with plenty of flexibility to permit user-creators to make their own rules. I've never stuck with a game this long and still see no end in sight to my interest. I just keep reaching for it during break time like an old friend who you never know what they're gonna come up with next. If you don't love this game, I feel sorry for you.
