About Brick Breaker

Brick Breaker descends from Breakout, the 1976 Atari arcade game designed by Nolan Bushnell and Steve Wozniak — bounce a ball off a paddle to clear a wall of bricks, one row at a time.

Your level sets the paddle width, ball speed, lives and brick rows together — a wide, forgiving paddle with five lives early on, shrinking and speeding up as you climb, down to a narrow 55px paddle with three lives at the top end. Points per brick scale with your level too, so a deeper run is worth more even at the same brick count.

Tips

• Hit the ball with the edge of the paddle to angle it sideways — useful for digging into a corner of bricks.
• Clear a path up one side first; it's often safer than attacking the middle, where a miss costs you more board.
• Keep the paddle moving toward where the ball will land, not where it already is.

Every round you finish is checked against the global Brick Breaker Top 10 above — no account needed, just a name the first time you place.
