Brick Breaker
Smash every brick. Save every ball.
About Brick Breaker
Brick Breaker is the arcade legend that started a genre. Slide your paddle to keep the ball in play and carve through walls of colorful bricks — every hit chips away at the level with a satisfying pop of particles. Clear the screen to advance to faster, tougher layouts. Lose the ball three times and it's game over. Between the near-miss paddle saves, the brick-clearing combos, and the 'one more level' pull, Brick Breaker remains one of the most satisfying score-chasers ever made.
How to play Brick Breaker
- 1Move your mouse or drag your finger to slide the paddle.
- 2Launch the ball and keep it bouncing — don't let it fall.
- 3Every brick you hit scores points; some take two hits.
- 4Where the ball hits your paddle controls its bounce angle.
- 5Clear all bricks to advance a level. You have 3 lives.
Tips & strategy
- Hit the ball with the paddle's edge to send it at sharp angles.
- Break a side channel and get the ball above the bricks — it carves alone.
- Slow down: controlled center hits beat frantic edge saves.
- Higher levels speed up the ball — soften angles to keep control.

It's the same beloved genre: paddle, ball, bricks. This version adds smooth physics, particles, and progressive levels.
How many levels are there?
Levels generate progressively — each one is faster with tougher brick layouts, so the run lasts as long as your skills do.
How do I aim the ball?
