Breakout

Bounce the ball off your paddle to smash every brick. The ball's angle depends on where it strikes the paddle — the edges send it steep, the center sends it straight up. Higher rows pay more points, steel-look bricks take two hits, and clearing a wall sends you to the next level with a faster serve. Lose the ball past the paddle and you lose a life.

Catch falling power-ups with the paddle: ↔ widens it, ❄ slows the ball, ✱ splits it into three, and ♥ adds a life.

Move with ←/→ or A/D, or drag anywhere on the field. Space (or a tap) launches the ball and pauses; P also pauses. On touch screens an on-screen pad appears below the field.
