Wizorb
Wizorb is an adventurous fantasy themed take on the breakout formula with RPG elements and glorious pixel art. It is without a doubt one of the best breakout games ever. After 2 years of development the developers Tribute Games created indeed an outstanding tribute to classic gameplay. Highly recommended!
The game is available on Steam and various other sites (but can also be purchased from the developers directly).

Moreover here is a nice article about Delicious Block-Breaking Games by Jonathan Lavigne (one of the creators of Wizorb who also developed the action platformer Ninja Senki). The fantastic illustration above was created by Michael Brennan.

Centipong
Centipong is a breakout game at heart that can either be played horizontally or vertically. It also mixes things up with another classic: Centipede. You start with one ball and bounce it with your paddle towards the intruding enemies. As soon as you hit a centipede the game gets frantic and crazy! Each element of a centipede becomes a squishy ball that swirls over the screen in a fast paced manner… and well there are still power ups for you to collect which are making the whole situation even more insane. Awesome arcade fun!
