Breakout
Control a paddle at the bottom of the screen and bounce a ball into rows of colored bricks. Break them all to advance. You have three lives — don't let the ball fall.
Play NowAbout
The arcade brick-breaker, polished for your browser. A ball bounces around the play area, and your paddle is the only thing keeping it in play. Angle your returns to target specific bricks and clear the board.
Each level adds more brick rows and increases ball speed. Multi-hit bricks require more than one strike to break. Your paddle shrinks slightly with each level, raising the stakes. Lose the ball and you lose a life — three strikes and the game is over.

Difficulty
Each level increases the ball speed, adds more brick rows, and slightly shrinks your paddle. Some bricks require multiple hits to break. The ball also speeds up slightly with each brick hit within a level.

Points are awarded for each brick destroyed, with bonus points for multi-hit bricks. You have three lives per game. Your personal best and last five scores are stored locally in your browser.
Pro Tips
