## Description
_Growth_ is an arcade game loosely extending the Arkanoid principle, shifting
the focus from the classic ball and bat schema more on the shooting bat extra
weapon of _Arkanoid_ and only adding he ball as bonus.
The player controls the bat and can not only move it at the bottom of the
screen, but also around the screen borders, so you can move it to the left,
right and top of the screen as well. The bat have shooting abilities by
default, which is badly required, as the eye in the center of the screen is
constantly popping up new stones to the playfield. A life is lost if the
growing stone formation is reaching any border. The goal in most levels is to
simply destroy the eye in the center of the screen, which can be achieved by
shooting through the stones until the eye itself can be hit while controlling
the expansion of the stones.
There are some levels in which a ball is present, which also can be used to
destroy the stones and is played like in any Breakout-like game. Some extra
levels are plain shoot-’em-up style: moving enemy formations are approaching
and the player has to shoot them to proceed further.
