[PC][2008?]What’s this DX-Ball–style brick-breaker with falling colourful balls and a “TRAIN” code for level 101?

Rapanui

One of the games felt a lot like DX-Ball at first. After a certain point, colourful balls would start dropping from the top, and when they hit a block, the block would change to that ball’s colour, making the playfield increasingly chaotic. Clearing blocks released a variety of power-ups; one let your paddle-cursor fire guided missiles you could steer with the mouse.

You could also enter a code for a specific level to jump straight to that stage instead of playing through from the beginning. Codes would appear on-screen when you reached that level. I remember that entering “TRAIN” sent you directly to level 101.

The CD also included a side-view spaceship shooter. It wasn’t a generic blast-’em-up—there were some unique twists in the weapons and enemy patterns, but I can’t recall the details.

There was a third game on the disc, but unfortunately, I’ve forgotten everything about it except that it existed.

I don’t care about the last two—I really want to find the first one. Any ideas what it might be? Thanks!
