How to play

Move the paddle at the bottom with the mouse, your finger, or the left and right arrow keys. Tap the board or press the space bar to launch the ball. The ball bounces off the walls, the ceiling, the bricks and your paddle; every brick it hits is removed (the thicker bricks with a dark outline take two hits). Clear all the bricks to finish the level. If the ball falls past the paddle you lose a life, and you have three. Each level is a bit faster and the paddle gets a little narrower. P pauses the game.

Where the ball lands on the paddle decides which way it goes: hit it with the middle and it goes straight up, hit it with an edge and it flies off at an angle. This is how you aim for the last few bricks in a corner.

Tips

Watch the ball, not the paddle, and move early so you are already under it when it comes down. Aim for the sides to make long diagonal shots that clear whole rows at once, and try to dig a path to the top so the ball bounces around behind the bricks and does the work for you. Take your time: you can keep the ball on the paddle until you are ready to launch.
