Brick Breaker

About Brick Breaker

Brick Breaker is a colourful take on the classic paddle-and-ball arcade game. Slide your paddle along the bottom of the screen to bounce the ball up into a wall of bricks, and smash every breakable brick to clear the level. Where the ball lands on your paddle decides its angle: hit it with the edge for a sharp shot into a tricky corner, or with the middle to send it straight up. There are ten hand-made levels to beat, from a simple warm-up wall to diamonds, checkerboards and fortresses guarded by steel bricks that cannot be broken. Silver bricks need two hits and gold bricks need three, and every broken brick makes the ball just a little faster. Some bricks drop power-ups as they break: catch them with your paddle for a wide paddle, a multi-ball that splits every ball into three, a slow-motion ball, or an extra life. You start with three lives, lose one whenever the last ball slips past your paddle, and score bonus points for every level you clear with lives to spare. Finish all ten levels and the game loops back with faster balls for an even bigger challenge, and once per game you can watch a short ad for an extra life. Brick Breaker plays free in your browser on phones, tablets and computers: drag or move the mouse to steer the paddle, or use the arrow keys, and tap, click or press Space to launch the ball. Your best score and furthest level are saved automatically.
