I'm a huge fan of Arkanoid-like games like Ricochet, DX Ball, Z-Ball, Bricks of Egypt, etc.

Unfortunately there aren't many games like these on Steam that I know of. I already own Shatter, Wizorb and Ionball 2: Ionstorm (stumbled upon this game today on steamgifts and bought the Breakneck Bundle immediately because of it).

Can you recommend me some steam and non-steam Arkanoid-like games?

AlphaBounce on DS is really good. It should still be on the online store.

Breakout is the original game so it should be Breakout-like. I don't know any other games like that aside from the ones you mentioned.

IIRC Arkanoid added a ton of stuff to the basic structure, so a lot of later games are closer to it than Breakout?

Anyway, OP, I can't think of any, but BIT.TRIP BEAT is a pretty sweet rhythym-Pong game. It's a bit like Arkanoid/Breakout, only horizontal and without blocks. So not much like them. You might like it!

im a big fan of these style games and the best one ive found on steam so far was Reaxxion.
its a mouse control one, has some great powerups and a good pace.
there might have been some that came out in the whole greenlit frenzy of the last year, but I have not been keeping up with it.
if you find any, let me know please, ill be very interested.

Space Ark is another game I found while searching for Arkanoid-like games on Steam. It isn't a Arkanoid-like but it has some similarities, just like BIT.TRIP BEAT that finbikkifin mentioned

I've just found out about Hot Pink.
Are there any new Arkanoid clones out there?

I must tell you about Break Quest. It's not on Steam... cause it's free now. I bought it years ago on the CD, still have it to this day. It's THE BEST arkanoid game ever created. Seriously, try it.

Brickochet is basically a DX Ball clone, really good and cheap on Steam.

Grey Cubes is quite easy but it's well made!
