Bounce the ball, smash the bricks, and keep the paddle under control.

You fly the paddle from a little glass pod. Bounce the ball into a wall of colored bricks, angle your shots by where the ball meets the paddle, clear every brick and watch out for the steel ones that refuse to break. It is simple to pick up and tricky to clear without losing a life.

How to play

1. Slide your finger anywhere on the screen and the paddle runs to it. The mouse and the arrow keys (or A and D) work too, all at the same top speed. Tap or press Space to launch the ball.
2. Hit the ball with the edge of the paddle to send it at a sharper angle.
3. Break every breakable brick to clear the wall and move on.
4. Don't let the ball drop past your paddle. You only get a few lives.

Every way to play is equal here: touch, mouse and keyboard all move at the same top speed, so scores are fair whichever device you use.

Tips

• Hit the ball with the edge of the paddle to send it at a sharper angle.
• Aim for a gap at the side of the wall: a ball bouncing above the bricks clears them fast.
• Steel bricks never break, so don't waste shots on them.
• Keep the paddle under the ball instead of chasing it at the last second.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. It's free to play in your browser, with no download and no sign-up. Coins you earn are for fun and can never be bought.

How do I move the paddle on a phone?

Slide your finger anywhere on the screen and the paddle runs to it, at the same top speed as the mouse and keys.

Why won't some bricks break?

Steel bricks can't be broken. Clear every other brick to finish the wall.

Can I play on a phone or tablet?

Yes. It's built for touch first and plays the same on a phone, a tablet, a Chromebook or a computer.
