How to play Brick Breaker
Brick Breaker is free in the browser on Play Online Games. Move the paddle with the mouse, a finger, or the arrow keys, keep the ball in play, and break every brick to clear the level. Some bricks take two hits. You have three lives.
Steps
- Move the paddle left and right with the mouse, a finger drag, or the Left and Right arrow keys.
- Bounce the ball up into the wall of bricks. Each hit breaks a brick or cracks a tougher one.
- Some bricks need two hits before they break.
- If the ball falls past the paddle, you lose a life. You start with three.
- Clear every brick to move to the next level.
Tips to play better
- Where the ball hits the paddle sets its angle. Hit it near an edge for a sharp angle and near the middle for a straight bounce.
- Open a gap at one side of the wall early. A ball that gets behind the bricks clears many of them on its own.
- Do not sit directly under the ball. Move to where it will land, a little early, so you have time to aim.
- Deal with two-hit bricks early so they do not block your last few shots.
- Make small, calm movements. Big swings are the most common way to miss.
