Meganoid for Android updated with 10 new levels, a new character, and harder difficulty mode

Retro platformer Meganoid has just received its first major update, which adds ten new levels, a new character, and an ultra-hard difficulty mode “for the real die-hards” out there.

Meganoid has managed to accumulate over 100,000 downloads on the Android Market since its release last week thanks to its striking visual style, chip-tune sounds, and uncompromising gameplay.

The objective is to gather up diamonds hidden in each of the stages and reach the exits without succumbing to a premature death at the hands of a variety of nasty obstacles (like spikey pits of death).

Don’t expect fancy-pants modern inventions like a health bar, though - one hit is all it takes to send your plucky character to the great platform in the sky (otherwise known as the start of the level).
