Lunchtime entertainment based as loosely as possible on the classic 80s arcade game Arkanoid.

Arkanoid didn’t involve our class headcase chasing us around school trying to whack us around our shorts-trousered legs with a large ruler. This was known, unlike the game Arkanoid, which this doesn’t resemble at all, as “crisping”.

You were briefly immune from crisping when you stood on a desk. Arkanoid had no such safety zone. However, to maintain this safety, you had to jump from desk to desk, like in Donkey Kong. Not Arkanoid.
