How to Play
Brick Breaker is a browser brick-breaking game. Move the paddle to bounce the ball into colored bricks. Clear every brick to win the level while keeping the ball in play.
Missing the ball with your paddle ends the run. Break all bricks without losing your ball for a clean victory.
The court is 500 by 400 units with an 80 by 12 paddle and a 10-unit ball. The wall is 5 rows by 8 columns — exactly 40 bricks — and each row has its own colour, pink at the top through green at the bottom. A round opens with a 3-count countdown that steps every 800 ms, so you have a little over two seconds to settle before the ball launches.
Controls
- Arrow Left / Right or A / D — Move paddle
- Mouse or touch — Point or drag to move the paddle
- Space — Start or pause
- P — Pause or resume
- Restart — New game
Tips & Tricks
- 1Aim for brick corners to open angles into tight clusters
- 2Keep the paddle under the ball on fast downward shots
- 3Clear bottom rows first to give yourself recovery space
- 4Use wall bounces to reach bricks behind obstacles
- 5With 5 rows of 8, the corners are the slowest bricks to reach — carve in from the side rather than straight up the middle
- 6Track the ball's angle off the paddle: meeting it near the edge sends a shallow, time-consuming return; meeting it flat sends a steep one
- 7Only 40 bricks stand between you and a win, so a careful run beats an aggressive one
Frequently Asked Questions

Press Space or tap Start, then use the keyboard, mouse, or touch controls to move the paddle.

The game ends. Restart to try again and beat your score.
How many bricks are there?
Exactly 40, arranged as 5 rows of 8, each row in its own colour.
