About Breakout

Breakout is the beloved brick-busting arcade classic. Steer the paddle to keep the ball in play and knock out every colored brick above. The ball speeds and angles off your paddle, so position is everything. Clear the whole wall before you run out of lives. Fast, punchy, and endlessly replayable.

How to play

• Move the paddle to bounce the ball upward.
• Hit bricks to break them and score points.
• The spot where the ball hits the paddle changes its angle.
• Don't let the ball fall past your paddle — you have three lives.
• Break every brick to win the round.

Controls: Slide your finger to move the paddle on mobile, or move the mouse on desktop.

Tips

• Hit the ball with the paddle's edge to change its angle and reach side bricks.
• Aim to punch a gap and send the ball behind the wall.
• Stay centered and only move when you need to — over-steering loses balls.
