About this game
Brick Breaker rebuilds the original arcade obsession with a neon synthwave coat of paint. Steer the paddle with your mouse, your finger or the arrow keys and angle each return to reach the last stubborn bricks. Some bricks take two hits, so you have to plan the order you clear them. Three lives, and every cleared board speeds the ball up a little more.
How to play
- 1Move the paddle with the mouse, your finger or the arrow keys.
- 2Angle the ball into the bricks to clear the board.
- 3You have 3 lives — clearing every brick advances to the next level.

Tips and strategy
- Aim with the edge of the paddle, not its centre. Where the ball lands on the paddle is what decides the angle it comes back at, and the corners are only reachable from an off-centre hit.
- Keep the ball high. Once it drops below the top row you lose the angles that reach the far columns, and those are always the last bricks standing.
- Clear the single-hit bricks around a two-hit brick before you attack it. Leaving one stubborn brick surrounded by empty space is how a clean board turns into a lost life.
- Every cleared board speeds the ball up, so spend your early lives on accuracy rather than on chasing the last brick with a reckless angle.

Frequently asked questions
- How many lives do I get in Brick Breaker?
- Three. Losing the ball costs one life, and clearing every brick on a board moves you to the next level with a slightly faster ball.
- Can I play Brick Breaker with a keyboard?
- Yes. The mouse, a finger on a touch screen and the arrow keys all steer the paddle, so the game plays the same on desktop and mobile.
- Why do some bricks take two hits?
- Some bricks are reinforced and need a second hit to break. They are the ones worth planning around, because a board only counts as cleared once every brick is gone.
