Smash every brick with the bouncing ball.
About Breakout
Bounce the ball off your paddle and demolish the wall of bricks above. Some bricks take multiple hits, and power-ups drop from the rubble — widen your paddle, multiply your balls, or speed things up. Clear every level to keep your run going.
How to Play
Move the paddle with your mouse, arrow keys, or by dragging on mobile. Keep the ball in play — if it falls past your paddle you lose a life. Catch falling power-ups. Clear all bricks to advance to the next level!
💡 Tips & Strategy
Aim with the paddle, don't just rally. Where the ball strikes the paddle sets its angle: the edges send it out steep, the center sends it up flat. Steep edge shots are your tool for reaching brick pockets the flat rally never touches.
The classic winning play is the tunnel: chip a channel up one side of the wall, then thread the ball through it. Once the ball is above the bricks it clears rows from behind while you rest — the highest-value state in the game, so engineer it deliberately.
Be picky about power-ups. Wide paddle and extra life are always worth catching; multi-ball is strong but demands calm tracking — commit to following the lowest ball only and let the others go. Never chase a power-up into a position where you can't recover for the next bounce.
On later levels the ball speeds up: stop reacting and start predicting. Read the rebound off the wall or brick and move to the landing spot early, adjusting at the last instant to choose your angle. Two-hit bricks reward focused fire — finish what you crack rather than spreading damage.
