Breakout
Bounce the ball, smash the bricks, don't let it drop.
How to play
Move the paddle along the bottom and bounce the ball into the bricks above. Each brick breaks in one hit. Bricks in higher rows are worth more points.
Where the ball hits the paddle sets its angle: the middle sends it straight up, the ends send it off at a sharp angle. The ball gets a little faster with every paddle hit.
Clear the wall and a new one appears, a bit faster. You have three lives; miss the ball three times and the game ends. Your record is your score.

Tips & strategy
- Hit the ball with the edge of the paddle to aim for the corners and get the ball above the wall.
- Once the ball is bouncing above the bricks, it clears the top rows for you. Those are worth the most.
- Don't chase the ball with the paddle's center. Move to where it will land; the edges give you a wider reach.
- The ball speeds up with every paddle hit and resets when you lose a life, so play the first wall carefully.
