How do I aim the ball?
Where the ball lands on the paddle sets where it goes. The middle sends it straight up, and the further toward an end, the more sideways it flies. Aim for gaps to get the ball above the bricks, where it breaks many in a row.
Is this the original Breakout?
It's our own version of the classic ball-and-paddle brick game. Atari released Breakout in 1976, and the idea has been remade many times since.
Can I play on a phone?
Yes. Drag your finger anywhere on the game to move the paddle, and tap to launch the ball. Turning the phone sideways makes the game bigger.
