About this game
Brick Breaker is the timeless arcade smash-'em-up where you slide a paddle to keep a bouncing ball in play and demolish a colorful wall of bricks. Angle each bounce off your paddle to aim, clear stubborn rows, and chase combos for a higher score. Miss the ball and you lose a life — run out and it's game over. Easy to pick up, satisfying to master, and endlessly replayable, Brick Breaker is the perfect way to test your reflexes one rally at a time.
