About this game

Five brick layouts, each tougher than the last — later levels mix in bricks that take two or three hits to break, denser patterns, and a faster ball. Clear every brick to advance; lose all your balls off the bottom edge and you lose a life. Where the ball strikes the paddle controls the angle it leaves at — hit it near the center for a straight shot back up, or near an edge to send it off at a sharp angle, the same real control a physical paddle would give you.

Some bricks drop a falling capsule when destroyed — catch it with the paddle before it reaches the bottom. A blue "M" splits your ball into three, a green "W" widens your paddle for a while, and an orange "L" gives you an extra life. Powerups are dropped at random, so no run plays out quite the same way twice.

Move the paddle with the mouse, the arrow keys (or A/D), or by dragging a finger across the table on a touchscreen. Your high score is saved on this device.
