How to play
- Move your paddle with the mouse, your finger, or the arrow keys.
- Press space or tap to launch the ball off the paddle.
- Bounce the ball into the bricks to break them — clear every brick to win.
- Do not let the ball fall past your paddle. You have three lives.
Strategy & tips
- Hit the ball with the edge of the paddle to angle your shots and reach tricky corners.
- Aim to punch a channel up one side so the ball bounces along the top, clearing rows on its own.
- Higher rows are worth more points, so prioritise digging up to them.
- Keep the paddle roughly under the ball and make small adjustments — big last-second swings cause misses.
- When the ball speeds up, watch its angle rather than chasing its position.
