Two classic arcade games are collide today in a brand new mobile game. Square Enix released Arkanoid vs Space Invaders today for iOS and Android devices. This new action game combines elements from both of Taito's arcade favorites into something wholly new (and mighty colorful). You'll take control of the Arkanoid Vaus paddle ship to attack and defeat eaves of attacking Space Invaders. We've got some in-game screenshots in the gallery below, and a brand new trailer for you right here:
