How to play

Brick Breaker is the arcade legend everyone knows and loves: a wall of colorful bricks sits at the top of the screen, and your paddle is the only thing standing between your bouncing ball and the bottom of the world. Slide left and right to keep the ball in play, and every brick it touches explodes for points. Some bricks drop glowing power-ups when they shatter — grab the ⚡ multi-ball to triple your balls for total chaos, or the ↔ wide paddle to double your paddle's width for a while. You have three lives; lose all of them and the game is over. Clear every brick in a level to advance, and smash through all three levels to win the game.

Controls

• Mouse — move the pointer over the board and the paddle follows it.
• Touch — drag your finger left or right anywhere on the board.
• Arrow keys or A / D — slide the paddle in keyboard mode.
• Space launches a new ball after losing one, or pauses mid-game; P pauses too.

Tips

Where the ball hits your paddle decides where it goes — aim with the edges of the paddle to send the ball into tight corners and behind the brick wall, where it will bounce around like a pinball and clear whole rows by itself. Catch power-ups by moving under them before they fall past you, and prioritize the multi-ball when lots of bricks remain since three balls clear the board fast. When a level is nearly done and one stubborn brick remains, try to trap a ball between the top wall and the last bricks for an automatic cleanup. Stay calm on fast balls: tiny paddle nudges beat wild swings.

Scoring

Every brick is worth 10 points × the level number, so level 3 bricks pay triple. Your best score is saved on your device, so every run is a fresh shot at the record. There are no points for catching power-ups, but a well-timed multi-ball can clear a whole level in seconds — and that is where the big scores come from.
