How to play
Tips and detailed strategy
Break every brick at the top of the screen by bouncing the ball off your paddle. Move the paddle left with ← or A and right with → or D; you can also drag it with the mouse or your finger. The ball starts attached to the paddle — press Space or tap to launch. P pauses, R restarts. Bricks in the higher rows are worth more; later stages introduce bricks that need two hits, the ball speeds up, and the paddle shrinks. If the ball falls past the paddle you lose a life — three lives and the run ends with your best score saved. Tip: striking the ball near the paddle's edge sharpens the bounce angle — use that to reach awkward corner bricks, and position the paddle under where the ball will land rather than chasing it.
