How do you play brick breaker?

Move the paddle with the mouse, a finger or the arrow keys, and bounce the ball into the bricks. Each hit scores 10 points. Tough bricks take 2 or 3 hits, steel never breaks. Clear the bricks to reach the next level, catch power-ups as they fall, and keep the ball off the floor: you have 3 lives.

How to play brick breaker

  1. Press Play. Move the paddle with the mouse, a finger, or the left and right arrow keys.
  2. Bounce the ball into the bricks. Each hit scores 10 points.
  3. Blue bricks take 2 hits and purple bricks take 3. Gray steel bricks never break.
  4. Clear every brick that breaks to reach the next level, with a faster ball and a level bonus.
  5. You have 3 lives. A ball that falls past the paddle costs one.

The ball goes the way of the side of the paddle it lands on: hit it with an edge for a wide angle. Press P or the Pause button to rest, and Full screen on a Chromebook for a bigger board.

Power-ups

Some bricks drop a capsule when they break. Catch it with the paddle:

  • Green: a wider paddle for 12 seconds.
  • Orange: each ball splits in three.
  • Blue: a slower ball for 10 seconds.
  • Red: one more life, up to 5.

Tips for a higher score

  • Break a hole at one side of the wall. A ball above the bricks bounces between them and the top for many points.
  • Aim with the paddle: catch the ball on the left edge to send it left, on the right edge to send it right.
  • With many balls, follow the lowest one.
  • Leave steel bricks alone. Aim at the gaps between them.

Questions

What do the power-ups in brick breaker do?

Green makes the paddle wider for 12 seconds, orange splits each ball in three, blue slows the ball for 10 seconds, and red gives one more life, up to 5. About 1 brick in 7 drops one.

How many levels are there?

10 walls, each with its own pattern. After level 10 the walls come back with a faster ball, so the game goes on as long as you keep a life.

Is this brick breaker unblocked at school?

It is a normal web page on lifesim.com, with no download, no sign-up and no ads in the game, so it opens on most school Chromebooks. We can't promise that every school filter allows it.

How do I aim the ball?

With the paddle. A ball that lands near the middle goes almost straight up; one that lands near an edge goes off at up to 60 degrees, to that side.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Drag your finger on the board to move the paddle, and tap to launch. The board fits the screen, and the page does not scroll while you play.
