Rules and strategy

How to play Breakout

Clear every brick by rebounding the ball from your paddle without letting it fall off the bottom edge.

Start playing

  1. Move the paddle with the pointer, a drag gesture, or the Left and Right arrow keys.
  2. Meet the falling ball with the paddle and send it back into the brick formation.
  3. Keep returning the ball until the board is clear or a missed return ends the run.

Breakout strategy tips

  • Stay close to the ball’s projected landing point instead of chasing its current position.
  • Contact nearer a paddle edge when you need a sharper rebound angle into a stubborn column.
  • Prioritize a safe return over one perfect angle when the ball accelerates.
