    • Levels
      • The game is divided into 20 levels.
        • Finish one level before playing the next.
        • Each time you start a level, you begin with a clear slate of 3 lives and no points. Your previous points are already saved.
        • You cannot replay levels you’ve already cleared.
      • Your browser only records your score if you finish a level.
      • Your score is cumulative and depends on the number of times you’ve won.
        • When you beat a level, your score is added to your total.
    • Basic rules
      • Take out all the bricks within 2 minutes.
        • You must remove all the bricks to clear the level.
        • See the number of bricks and lives you have left on the top left corner.
      • You start the game with 3 lives.
        • You can gain more lives as you progress through the game.
        • If you have 2 or more balls in play, you will only lose a life if all the balls fall down.
      • Make sure that you take out all the bricks within the time limit.
        • You can extend your time by collecting clock powerups.
        • See your remaining time using the clock on the top right corner.
      • In later levels, you can use bombs to clear out large parts of the brick stack.
    • Directions
      • If the ball hits the paddle from the surface, it goes up.
      • If the ball hits the side of the paddle, it goes on the opposite direction at an angle.
    • Power ups
      • Power ups randomly fall from the stack of bricks. Pick them up with your paddle.
      • With the power ups, you can gain the following.
        • Heart: Gain extra lives.
        • Ball: Get an extra ball to play.
        • Missile: Gain the ability to fire missiles at the bricks from your paddle.
        • Plus: Lengthen your paddle.
        • Minus: Shorten your paddle.
        • Fireball: Double the strength of your ball.
        • Lightning: Double the speed of the ball.
        • Shield: Stop the ball from falling
        • Clock: Gain extra time.
        • Coins: Gain extra coins.
      • Power ups are only activated once the ball is in play.
        • If one ball has an active fireball or lightning power up, any other balls you sent out won’t have it.
        • If you have 2 balls in play and collect a fireball or lightning power up, both balls will have it.
        • Only one of either power up can be active at any time.
    • Strategies and tips
      • Let the ball do its own thing.
        • See if you can bounce the ball into the top of the screen. This way, it will do most of the work by bouncing around.
        • Multiple balls also work with the same principle. Let the other ball bounce around and focus most of your attention on keeping just one of them in play.
      • This game is very generous with extra lives and time. Collect as many of them as you can if there’s no danger of dropping the ball.
      • The shield serves as a paddle. This will come in handy if you have 2 balls at play.
      • See if you can activate a fireball or lightning power up while you have 2 or more balls at play.
        • This can help you clear out a brick stack faster.
        • Fireballs are especially useful. They can go through several bricks in a single go.
        • Taking out multiple bricks at once will generate more power ups at once, which can be especially advantageous.
      • Be careful when using missile or fireball power ups.
        • The particles flying around when taking out several bricks at once can make it hard to track the ball.
        • In the confusion, you might end up losing the ball unless you have a shield.
        • If you do lose the ball while having missiles, don’t launch the next one until you’ve run out of missiles.
      • If you only have a few more bricks in one corner and still have lives, it might be better to let the ball fall and relaunch.
        • Close to the end of the level, you have fewer options for power ups. The ball will likely be very slow.
        • It’s better to relaunch somewhere closer to the remaining stack than to waste time.
      • Unless your paddle is too long, do not take the minus power up.
  • Target Audience
    • The game is suited for players who like games like Breakout.
    • The game has no adult themed content.
