## How to play

### Goal

Bounce the ball off your paddle to smash every brick. Clear the wall to move up a level — the levels never run out.

### Controls

• Drag anywhere to slide the paddle, or use the left and right arrow keys
• Tap, or press Space, to launch the ball off the paddle
• Where the ball strikes the paddle steers where it flies — hit it with the edge to send it sharply sideways
• Pause with the button or the P key

### Tips

• Tougher bricks take more than one hit and are worth more points
• Every brick that breaks before the ball comes back to the paddle joins a chain — each one in the run is worth more, up to four times
• Aim for a gap in the wall and let the ball rattle around behind it
• Catch the capsules a broken brick drops: a wider paddle, extra balls, a slower ball, an extra life, or a cannon that fires from both ends of the paddle for a while
• The ball speeds up each level, so keep the paddle under it and stay calm
• You have three lives — a ball lost below the paddle costs one
