Block Breaker

About This Game

Block Breaker is our take on the classic brick-breaking arcade formula. An 8x5 grid of colored bricks fills the top of the screen. You control a paddle at the bottom, bouncing a ball upward to destroy bricks. Each color is worth different points — red bricks at the top are worth the most. When all bricks are cleared, a new level starts with a faster ball.

The power-up system adds strategy. Destroyed bricks occasionally drop power-ups: a wider paddle, a slowed-down ball, an extra life, or — the crown jewel — a multi-ball that splits the ball into three. Catching a multi-ball while you already have two balls in play creates absolute chaos, and it's the most fun you can have with a 13KB web game.

Controls

Mouse and touch dragging is the most precise control method. Arrow keys work but have a slight latency compared to direct position tracking.

Strategy Tips

Prioritize power-ups, not bricks. A wider paddle or slowed ball can help you clear an entire level. Let the ball bounce naturally while you position under falling power-ups — bricks will get hit eventually.

Angle the ball intentionally. Where the ball hits the paddle determines its angle. Hitting near the edges sends the ball diagonally, which reaches the top rows faster. Hitting the center sends it straight up, which is safer but slower.
