Brick Breaker: learn through an example

Bring this focus to a round

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.

Your goal

Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.

The order of play

  1. Start the ball.
  2. Move the paddle to intercept it.
  3. Paddle contact changes the outgoing angle.
  4. Restart a remaining ball after a loss.

How to interact with the game

Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

An example to follow

An edge hit sends the ball at a different angle. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.

Keep this in mind

Track its landing point, not only its current x-coordinate. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
