About Brick Breaker
Brick Breaker is an arcade classic. Move the paddle to keep the ball in play and smash through rows of bricks. The ball speeds up and the paddle shrinks as levels increase. You have three lives to clear the board.
How to play
- Drag across the board or press the arrow keys to move the paddle.
- Bounce the ball into the bricks to destroy them.
- Clear all bricks before you lose three balls.
Tips and strategy
- Hit the ball with the edge of the paddle to change its angle.
- Aim for a gap on one side so the ball gets behind the bricks.
- Stay under the ball instead of chasing it.
Levels, stars and XP
Finish a level to earn one to three stars and XP towards your player level. Replay any unlocked level to improve your stars. From level 151 the game enters endless mode, where each level is a remix of an earlier one with fresh colours and a slightly higher difficulty.
