How to play Brick Breaker
Brick Breaker is a classic arcade game. Move the paddle to keep the ball in play and knock out every brick on the screen. Clear them all to reach the next level, where there are more rows and the ball moves faster.
Where the ball lands on the paddle decides its angle: the centre sends it straight up, the edges send it wide. Higher rows are worth more points, and from level 2 the outlined bricks in the top row need two hits. Miss the ball and you lose a life.
