An introduction to playing Brick Breaker

Something to practise

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.

The purpose of your moves

Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

Input guidance

Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Put the rules into context

An edge hit sends the ball at a different angle. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.

Watch out for this

Track its landing point, not only its current x-coordinate. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
