Brick Breaker: a guide for your next round

Try a more deliberate round

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.

What you need to achieve

Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Step by step

  1. Start the ball.
  2. Move the paddle to intercept it.
  3. Paddle contact changes the outgoing angle.
  4. Restart a remaining ball after a loss.

How your actions work

Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

Work through an example

An edge hit sends the ball at a different angle. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.

Pay attention to this rule

Track its landing point, not only its current x-coordinate. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
