Brick Breaker
Move the paddle, bounce the ball and smash all the bricks. Don't drop it!
Brick Breaker is the classic paddle-and-ball arcade game, refined to its addictive core. You slide a paddle along the bottom, bounce a ball upward, and chip away at a wall of bricks until the screen is clear. It is instantly familiar, quick to pick up, and hard to put down once the ball is flying.
How to play
Move the paddle with your mouse, a swipe, or the ← → arrow keys to keep the ball in play. Angle your bounces to send the ball into the brick wall above and smash every brick to clear the board. You have three lives, so don't let the ball slip past the paddle and off the bottom of the screen.
Tips
- Hit the ball with the edge of the paddle to change its angle sharply and reach bricks tucked in the corners.
- Aim to carve a channel up one side so the ball gets trapped above the wall, clearing bricks rapidly on its own.
- Clearing a whole board advances you faster, so prioritize wiping out full levels rather than nudging the ball around.
- Stay centered by default and only dash to the edges when you must — over-committing is how balls get dropped.
In the mood for more arcade action, try Snake or the bubble-popping of Bubble Shooter.
