Bricks
Bounce the ball with your paddle and clear every brick, over 30 stages.
How to play
Drag, move the mouse, or use ← → to steer the paddle. Tap, click or Space launches the ball. P or Esc pauses. The farther from the paddle's center the ball lands, the wider it flies off.
Rules and score
You start with 3 lives and get one more after stages 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 (up to 5). A 1-hit brick is 10 points, 2-hit 25, 3-hit 40, and each crack 2. Solid bricks don't break. A Burst brick also hits its neighbors above, below and to the sides (15). A Gift brick drops a power-up; catch it for 30 points and one of: Wide (wider paddle, 15 s), Twin (one more ball), Net (saves one ball), Pierce (goes through bricks, 8 s), Blast (breaks 3×3). Clear stage 5, 10, … to start later games from 6, 11, 16, 21 or 26.
Tips
- Send the ball into the space above the bricks; it breaks many on the way down.
- Hit Burst bricks early to take out their neighbors too.
- Go for power-ups only while the ball is high up.
- Catch the ball with the paddle's edge to change its angle.
FAQ
- What if the ball keeps taking the same path?
- After 30 bounces without touching a breakable brick, its angle shifts a little by itself.
- Do games started from a later stage count for the ranking?
- Yes. The server checks every stage.
