How to play

Slide your paddle to keep the ball in play. The ball breaks the bricks it touches; tough bricks take several hits, metal bricks never break and explosive bricks take their neighbours with them. Some bricks drop power-ups: catch the ones that widen your paddle, split the ball in three, slow it down, make it stick to the paddle, fire lasers or give an extra life, and dodge the grey one that shrinks your paddle. Try to clear fifteen hand-made levels with 3 lives.

1. 1Move the paddle with your mouse, your finger or the left-right arrow keys. On a phone, drag your finger left and right anywhere on the screen; the paddle moves as far as your finger does.
2. 2Where the ball hits the paddle sets its direction: the edges send it at a sharper angle.
3. 3Coloured bricks break in one hit, tough bricks in two or three; metal bricks never break and explosive bricks break their neighbours too.
4. 4Catch falling power-ups with the paddle; the grey capsule shrinks it. Miss the ball and you lose a life; clear every breakable brick to move on to the next level.
