About Breakout
A level is done once every brick is gone. It is a classic arcade setup with nothing extra bolted on.
The danger is below you, not above. If the ball drops past your paddle, it is out of play, so most of your attention goes to staying under it. Each new level is harder than the last, and the ball keeps getting faster.

The early levels give you time to line up shots and learn how the ball comes off the paddle. Later on that time shrinks, and the game turns into a test of how well you can read where the ball is going and get there first. Fans of retro brick breakers will know the feeling right away.
Key features
- It is a block breaking game where you clear every brick with one bouncing ball.
- The ball must never slip past your paddle.
- Levels get harder as you go and the ball speeds up.
- You can play with arrow keys or by swiping on a touch screen.
Tips & tricks
- Watch the ball's path and move to where it will land, instead of chasing it after it bounces.
- Learn how the ball comes off the paddle in the slower early levels, because later the faster ball leaves you much less time to react.
