About Brick Breaker
Brick Breaker is the arcade legend that started a genre. Slide your paddle to keep the ball in play and carve through walls of colorful bricks — every hit chips away at the level with a satisfying pop of particles. Clear the screen to advance to faster, tougher layouts. Lose the ball three times and it's game over. Between the near-miss paddle saves, the brick-clearing combos, and the 'one more level' pull, Brick Breaker remains one of the most satisfying score-chasers ever made. Move the paddle with your mouse, finger or arrow keys — the ball's rebound angle depends on where it strikes the paddle, so every save is also an aim. Free in your browser on desktop and mobile, no download, with your high score saved between sessions.

Tips & strategy
- Hit the ball with the paddle's edge to send it at sharp angles.
- Break a side channel and get the ball above the bricks — it carves alone.
- Slow down: controlled center hits beat frantic edge saves.
- Higher levels speed up the ball — soften angles to keep control.
