Breakout

Objective

Destroy all the bricks by bouncing the ball off your paddle. Where the ball hits the paddle controls its angle: hit with the edge for a sharp angle, the center for a straight bounce. You have 3 lives; lose the ball off the bottom and you lose a life.

Controls

• Mouse / Touch - Move the paddle; click or tap to launch
• ← → or A D - Move paddle
• SPACE - Launch ball / pause / resume
• R - Restart game
• M - Mute sounds

Power-Ups

Some bricks drop capsules; catch them with your paddle:

• E Expand - Wider paddle for a while
• S Slow - Slows the ball down
• 3 Multi-ball - Splits into three balls
• + Extra life - One more life

Tips

• Aim with the paddle edges to reach bricks in the corners
• Break through one side to get the ball bouncing above the bricks; it clears rows fast
• Top-row bricks are worth the most points; silver bricks take two hits
• With multi-ball active you only lose a life when the last ball drops
• The ball speeds up a little with every level
