How to play Brick Breaker
Bounce the ball, clear the blocks, ride the power-ups.
🎯 Goal
Keep the ball in play with your paddle and smash every block to clear the level. Numbered blocks need that many hits before they break — and the deeper you go, the tougher they get. Lose the ball with no backup and you lose a life.
🕹️ Controls
- Drag or slide your finger to move the paddle (mobile)
- Move the mouse or use ← → keys (desktop)
- Tap / Space to launch the ball — and to fire when you have the laser
⚡ Power-ups (catch the falling tokens)
- ✦ Split — splits each ball into two
- ▬ Safety — a one-time floor that bounces the ball back up
- ✸ Power ball — ball smashes blocks harder (3 hits at once / bursts through)
- ↯ Laser — fire beams that clear a whole row/column
- ⟲ Redirect — wildcard: the next bounce fires off in a random direction
🏆 Scoring
- Points for every hit and every block cleared
- Clearing a level and grabbing power-ups bank bonus points
