Play Brick Breaker with the rules at hand

Try a more deliberate round

When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The purpose of your moves

Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

Step by step

  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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

A closer look at one example

An edge hit sends the ball at a different angle. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.

A mistake to avoid

Track its landing point, not only its current x-coordinate. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
