How to play Brick Breaker

Goal and controls

Move the paddle with arrows, A/D, or drag across the board. Press Launch or Space to release the ball. Break all bricks with three lives.

A worked example

Watch the ball’s downward path and move under its likely landing point early. A hit near the paddle’s centre sends it more vertically; a hit toward an edge changes its sideways direction. Use that angle to reach bricks left near the sides.

Plan your next move

Move with Left/Right, A/D or by dragging across the board. Press Launch or Space to release the ball. On a phone, keep your finger low enough that it does not cover the falling ball. After losing a life, reposition the paddle and launch again when ready.

Scoring and finishing

Each brick gives 100 points. Clear all bricks to win; missing the ball three times ends the run. There is no time bonus, so focus on staying in position rather than trying to finish with risky edge shots.

Saving, pausing and leaving

Press Play to begin; browsers may require that gesture before sound or fullscreen can start. Use the music-note button to toggle audio and the appearance control for light/dark mode. Exit Game returns to Mini Games. Escape or browser Back may ask for confirmation when a run is in progress.
