How to Play Brick Breaker: Rules and Tips
Brick Breaker is a classic arcade game. You control a paddle at the bottom of the screen and bounce a ball up into a wall of bricks.
The rules
- Move the paddle with your finger, the mouse or the arrow keys. Tap or press Space to launch the ball.
- Each brick breaks when the ball hits it. Bricks with a white border need two hits.
- If the ball falls past your paddle, you lose a life. You have 3 lives.
- Clear every brick to move to the next level. Each level adds more and tougher bricks, and the ball gets faster.
Scoring
10 points per brick (20 for tough bricks), and 100 points for every level you clear.
Tips
- Aim with the paddle edges. Hitting the ball near an edge sends it off at a sharp angle. The middle sends it straight up.
- Break through one side to get the ball bouncing above the bricks. It clears a lot on its own up there.
- Watch the ball, not the bricks, as it comes down.
