🧱 Breakout
Move the paddle to bounce the ball into the bricks. Break every brick to win. Higher rows score more points. You have 3 lives.
How to Play Breakout
Move the paddle using your mouse on desktop or your finger on mobile to keep the ball bouncing. The ball travels upward into the bricks, knocking each one out. Clear all bricks to win the level. You start with 3 lives. Each time the ball falls below the paddle, you lose one life. When all lives are gone, the game ends.
The angle at which the ball leaves the paddle depends on where it strikes. Hitting near the left edge sends the ball left, hitting near the right edge sends it right, and hitting the centre sends it roughly straight up. Use this to steer the ball toward remaining bricks.
Scoring
Bricks in higher rows are worth more points. Red bricks at the top score 50 points each. Orange: 40. Yellow: 30. Green: 20. Blue bricks at the bottom score 10. Skilled players aim to break through to the red rows early and keep the ball bouncing there for maximum points.
