Brick Breaker

📖 Read the strategy guide ›

Brick Breaker is a classic paddle-and-ball arcade game. Keep the ball in play with your paddle, smash through every brick on the screen and catch falling power-ups like a wider paddle, multi-ball or slow motion. Clear all ten levels to win.

How to play

  1. Launch the ball from your paddle.
  2. Move the paddle to bounce the ball back up.
  3. Break every brick to clear the level.
  4. Catch power-ups such as Wide, Multi-ball and Slow.
  5. Do not let the ball fall past your paddle; you have three lives.

Controls

Tips

  • Hit the ball with the edge of the paddle to change its angle.
