Brick Breaker: what to know before playing

An idea for your next attempt

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your objective

Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.

How a round unfolds

  1. Start the ball.
  2. Move the paddle to intercept it.
  3. Paddle contact changes the outgoing angle.
  4. Restart a remaining ball after a loss.

Using the playing area

Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

One way to understand the rules

An edge hit sends the ball at a different angle. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.

Where a round can go wrong

Track its landing point, not only its current x-coordinate. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
