An introduction to playing Brick Breaker
Try Brick Breaker at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Single 45-brick layout, three balls.
Try a more deliberate round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
Aim for this result
Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
From the start of a round
- Start the ball.
- Move the paddle to intercept it.
- Paddle contact changes the outgoing angle.
- Restart a remaining ball after a loss.
Input guidance
Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.
An example before you play
An edge hit sends the ball at a different angle. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
A common point of confusion
Track its landing point, not only its current x-coordinate. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
