About Break Out
Clear the whole screen and you move on to the next level.
The main twist is speed. The ball moves faster with each new level, so the reactions that are enough early on stop being enough later. If the ball drops past your paddle, you restart.

The bricks come in three different block formations. Some of them need two hits before they break, so you will have to send the ball back to the same spot more than once.
Quick summary
- You bounce the ball off your paddle and up into the bricks.
- A level ends when every brick on the screen is broken.
- Each new level makes the ball move faster.
- If the ball falls past your paddle, you start again.
Key features
- There are three different brick formations to clear.
- Some bricks take two hits to break.
- Hitting the ball with the edge of the paddle gives you more control over its direction.

Tips & tricks
- Catch the ball near the edge of the paddle when you want to steer it toward a certain brick.
- Remember which bricks have already taken one hit and aim back at them to finish them off.
- Press P before you look away from the screen, because one missed ball sends you back to the start.
Frequently asked questions
Why did a brick not break when I hit it?
