The Brick Breaker playbook

One thing to notice as you play

When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your objective

Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

The playing sequence

  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.

Keyboard and screen controls

Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

A closer look at one example

An edge hit sends the ball at a different angle. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.

Keep this in mind

Track its landing point, not only its current x-coordinate. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
