An introduction to playing Brick Breaker

Read the aim of Brick Breaker, then make your first move. Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. Look at what changes after your first action. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Single 45-brick layout, three balls.

Practice beyond the first move

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What you are aiming for

Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.

Making your moves

  1. Start the ball.
  2. Move the paddle to intercept it.
  3. Paddle contact changes the outgoing angle.
  4. Restart a remaining ball after a loss.

How your actions work

Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

An example to follow

An edge hit sends the ball at a different angle. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.

Check this before moving on

Track its landing point, not only its current x-coordinate. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
