KNoid came to mind, but it doesn't roll off the tongue very well, and I 
guess arKanoid is asking for trouble :-). "Karnoid"? Or even "Karnak"?

Then again, KBreakout follows the tradition of KPoker, KMahjongg, 
KNibbles, KReversi, KTron, KAsteroids, and so on :-).

Different backgrounds for various levels is something I've seen done 
before, but as you say consistency becomes a potential problem. One 
solution would be to have each /theme/ provide several backgrounds that 
can then be used in rotation.
