Patterns
Clear every brick to advance. Later rounds reuse shapes with tougher colors.

The brief
Brick Breaker is the familiar arcade loop: a ball in motion, a paddle along the bottom, and a wall of bricks. Clear the pattern to move on. Three misses, and the run ends.
The mouse, a finger drag, or the left and right arrows slide the paddle. Space or a tap launches. Where the ball meets the paddle sets the angle. The center sends it straight up. The edges send it off to the side, which is how you pick off a last brick in a corner.
Blue bricks break in one hit, purple in two, pink in three, and gold in four. A hit is 10 points, a broken brick adds a bonus, and a cleared level adds 100. The ball speeds up a little with every hit. Opening a hole to the top lets the ball rattle around above the wall and finish the work for you.
How to aim
Catch the ball toward the edge of the paddle for a sharp angle, or near the middle for a vertical return.
