- Strategy
- Click your mouse to release the ball, shooting it upward to break the bricks.
- Some bricks only take a single hit, whereas some can take multiple hits.
- The silver bricks can not be broken.
- Be cautious when hitting bricks near the bottom of the playing field at a significant angle as the ball returns quickly.
- If it is possible to get the ball to slide through a narrow opening and bounce around above the blocks that is ideal for players as they get to take many bricks out of the game without needing to repeatedly hit the ball with the paddle.
- Track where the ball is going and try to meet it with your paddle.
- It is generally best to hit the ball with the middle portion of the paddle as it causes the ball to travel in a more vertical direction, which is easier to track.
- If you hit the ball near an edge of the paddle the ball will move at a significant angle off the paddle.
- You are given three lives. Anytime the ball falls below your paddle you lose a life.
- If you lose you can restart the game with 3 lives on whatever level you are playing.
- One frustrating thing about this game is if your mouse goes outside the game window sometimes the paddle freezes position.
- This game has many power ups hidden inside the breakable blocks.
- You can catch these power ups with your paddle.
- Some of them will slow the ball down, make your paddle wider, add guns to the sides of your paddle, or make your paddle magnetic.
- While all three of those options make the game easier, sometimes people chasing the bonuses miss the ball and die.
- There is also a “bonus” which is the opposite, making your paddle shorter.
- Click your mouse to release the ball, shooting it upward to break the bricks.

This take on the arcade staple adds several twists to a classic formula. Superficial differences are the first thing you’d spot. It’s themed after plastic toy blocks. The interface design resembles a child’s playroom. But much like the OG Breakout, your goal is to direct a ball to clear the blocks above.
The key to mastering this game is the same as its predecessor. Let the ball do most of the work. The twist is that the ball isn’t the only thing you should worry about. You can also get various falling power ups that can shake up your gameplay style.
This modern version of Brick Out has the same goal: clear the bricks by hitting the ball with the paddle. You get a maximum of three ball lives. It’s game over once you fail to bounce your third ball. Expect the game to have different types of bricks. The regular bricks are destroyed when the ball hits them once. Other bricks, which are earth-colored, take several hits before they’re removed. Bricks in silver are indestructible. Once all the bricks are eliminated, you can advance into the next level. But if you die, you can play the level again. Completed levels are saved on your browser.
When you destroy bricks, expect power ups to randomly fall. These power ups can make your paddle longer or temporarily magnetic. There’s even a power up that keeps your ball from falling temporarily. Another bonus is a power up that gives an extra ball. But as a tip, don’t focus too much on collecting power ups. You might miss the ball if you prioritize getting something else. There’s a bad power up that will make your paddle shorter. Watch out for falling yellow blocks with a red line in them. Try to avoid them when you can.
