A practical guide to Brick Breaker

Try a more deliberate round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Keep the objective visible.

What counts as success

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

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.

Your inputs

Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.

Put the rules into context

An edge hit sends the ball at a different angle. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.

Watch out for this

Track its landing point, not only its current x-coordinate. Check the rule before repeating the action. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
