Try "Bolo" on PC-CDrom by Dongleware (makers of Oxyd and Per.Oxyd). It is old though. Bolo is a German breakout game with WAY more interactive and original physis than breakquest. In bolo the paddle is free in 2D! Player dies if ball falls into holes, not bottom of screen. Rubber bands, magnetism, changing friction, gravity, changing paddle sizes, elements from pinball etc etc etc... Nope, this is not the best physics breakout, only second best by quite some margin.

I just LOVE this game. I've been playing it since past year and I am not bored yet. And I still need to beat the game on Hard... Is this the return of spain software to its glory days?
I just LOVE this game. I’ve been playing it since past year and I am not bored yet.
And I still need to beat the game on Hard…

More developers need to take note! An utterly contemptible and unimaginative Breakout clone was just released on the Nintendo DS. I expect that it will sell well enough to the herd, but if that game had been something akin to BreakQuest (or why not BreakQuest itself?!?) it could have been a huge hit and continued to accelerate the reception of physics-based gameplay in the mainstream.
