How to play Brick Breaker online
Bounce a glowing ball from your paddle into a colourful wall of bricks. Keep the ball in the playfield long enough to clear all 40 bricks.
What happens next?
Every brick adds ten points. You have three lives, and losing a ball costs one life. The round ends when the wall is cleared or your lives run out.
Improve your score
Try catching the ball near one side of the paddle rather than the middle. This changes its outgoing angle and helps target bricks in awkward positions.
Phone and desktop
Move your mouse across the playfield or drag your finger over it to steer the paddle. Left and right arrow keys also work.
Questions about Brick Breaker
How do I move the paddle on mobile?
Touch or drag directly across the playfield. The paddle follows your finger.
