- Keep the ball away from the paddle to build a combo - the multiplier climbs, and a big combo sets off FEVER (a fireball that smashes straight through).
- Bricks: tough ones take 2-3 hits, steel never breaks, TNT blows up its neighbours, gold pays coins and purple ones always drop a power-up.
- Where the ball meets the paddle sets its angle - hit it with the edge for a sharp shot.
About this tool
Brick Breaker is the arcade classic rebuilt with a lot more going on: bounce the ball off your paddle to smash the wall, catch falling power-ups, and keep the ball away from the paddle to build a combo - big combos set off FEVER, a fireball that ploughs straight through. Play endless Levels, carve tunnels through 3,000 tiny bricks in Pixel Blast, survive a wall that creeps down in Descent, or take on the Daily Brick that everyone plays the same way.

Tips for better results
- Hit the ball with the paddle edge to send it into gaps - once it is above the wall it can break dozens of bricks on its own.
- Save Split and Multi-ball for when the ball is high up for huge combos.
- TNT bricks blow up everything around them and can set off other TNT.
- In Descent, clear the lowest rows first - the wall moves down faster as you go.
Mistakes to avoid
- Chasing falling power-ups and losing the ball.
- Catching the "Shrink" and "Speed up" capsules - they are grey and red for a reason.
- Hitting the ball with the middle of the paddle every time, so it bounces straight up and down.
- Forgetting that steel bricks never break - aim around them.
Frequently asked questions
Pixel Blast builds each stage from about 3,000 tiny bricks that form a pixel-art picture - a heart, a ghost, a space invader and more. The ball carves tunnels through the wall, and once it gets above the bricks it can clear huge areas on its own.
Every brick you break without the ball touching the paddle adds to your combo and raises the score multiplier up to x8. A long combo sets off FEVER: for a few seconds the ball becomes a fireball that smashes straight through bricks.
