The classic brick breaker, ready in your browser

Breakout evolved from Pong into something entirely new. Instead of competing against another paddle, you aim upward at a wall of bricks. Each brick you hit disappears, and the ball rebounds back toward you. Miss it with your paddle and you lose a life. Clear every brick to advance to the next level. It sounds simple, but as bricks thin out the ball takes increasingly unpredictable angles, demanding quick reflexes and precise paddle placement.

Strategies for clearing every brick

The fastest way to clear a level is to get the ball above the brick wall. When the ball is bouncing between the top wall and the back of the bricks, it clears rows rapidly without needing your paddle. To achieve this, aim for gaps in the formation rather than solid rows. Use the edges of your paddle to send the ball at steep angles, which helps it reach the top rows sooner. Stay patient in the early stages and let the geometry work for you.
