An introduction to playing Brick Breaker

Brick Breaker gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Single 45-brick layout, three balls.

Build familiarity through play

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Make the next step deliberately.

The goal to keep in mind

Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Work through the instructions

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

See how the rules apply

An edge hit sends the ball at a different angle. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.

A useful caution

Track its landing point, not only its current x-coordinate. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
