I never figured out what kind of game this was as a kid. I remember playing some variant of Breakout that was mostly for mobile flip phones in the late 2000s and never realizing Breakout was the archetype behind the paddle on the lower side while breaking blocks. Even if it's natural and first form, it's still surprisingly fun without the original controls. No bells and whistles being the first variant of the game but the loop is still satisfying for single play.
