Brick Breaker

Smash colorful bricks with a bouncing ball in this classic arcade breakout game. Catch power-ups, build combos, and clear all levels with your three lives!

How to Play:
Brick Breaker is the timeless arcade game where you control a paddle to launch a ball and destroy all bricks on screen. New levels appear as you clear each one!

Objective:
Break all bricks on each level using a bouncing ball. Catch power-ups to gain advantages, and progress through increasingly challenging levels.

Controls:
- Desktop: Move mouse left/right, or use Arrow Keys (← β†’) to slide the paddle
- Launch ball: Click, press Space, or press Arrow Up
- Mobile / Tablet: Touch and drag to move the paddle, tap to launch

Scoring:
- Each brick broken = +10 points
- Combo bonuses for breaking multiple bricks without missing
- You have 3 lives β€” lose the ball off the bottom and you lose a life
- High score is saved automatically in your browser

Power-Ups:
- WIDE: Expands your paddle width for better coverage
- SLOW: Slows the ball speed to help you regain control
- Multi-ball (x3): Splits into three balls for maximum brick coverage

Game Over:
- Lose all 3 lives (ball falls off the bottom) β€” Game Over!

Difficulty Levels:
- Easy: Slower ball (3.0), 4 brick rows β€” relaxed pace, great for beginners
- Medium: Moderate ball (4.0), 5 brick rows β€” the classic experience
- Hard: Fast ball (5.5), 6 brick rows β€” intense action for experts

Game Features:
- Multi-level progression β€” each level adds more brick rows and faster balls
- Three powerful drop power-ups (wide paddle, slow ball, multi-ball)
- Combo system rewards consecutive brick breaks
- Some bricks on higher levels require 2 hits to break
- Stunning neon visual effects with particle explosions
- Ball angle changes based on where it hits the paddle β€” use this strategically
- High score tracking saved to your browser

Pro Tips:
- Angle your shots by aiming where the ball hits the paddle β€” edges create sharper angles
- Catch power-ups early, especially WIDE paddle which gives more coverage
- On Hard mode, the 6-row grid and fast ball demand quick reflexes
- Multi-ball is the most powerful power-up β€” use it to clear large sections at once
- Don not panic when you lose a life β€” focus on catching the ball, not just hitting bricks!
