While the enduring retro-revival movement has been mostly focused on recapturing the glory of the 8-bit platformer, Siesta Fiesta proves that there are more great genres to mine for inspiration. Combining the classic gameplay of Breakout with scrolling levels that would feel right at home in something like Rayman, Siesta Fiesta effectively pays tribute to the arcade classic while still managing to inject plenty of new ideas of its own.
Siesta Fiesta feels immediately familiar. Using the touchscreen, circle pad or d-pad to slide your paddle (or bed, in this case) around the bottom of the screen seems purely inspired by Breakout. The touchscreen, specifically, provides a precise and tactile feel, which made it my control method of choice. The same strategies of letting the ball hit the edges or middle of the paddle to send it hurtling in the direction you desire still apply as you clear out bricks and earn high scores. While the brick-busting gameplay is nothing new, what sets Siesta Fiesta apart from Breakout is its use of scrolling levels.
