🧱 Breakout
Knock out every brick without dropping the ball. Slide the paddle with your finger, the mouse, or the arrow keys. Where the ball hits the paddle decides which way it goes — so the paddle is a steering wheel.

How to Play
- Moving
- Slide your finger or the mouse across the board, or hold ← and →. Space launches the ball and pauses.
- Steering the ball
- The ball doesn't just bounce straight off. Hit it with the middle of the paddle and it goes nearly straight up; hit it with the edge and it flies off sideways. That's how you reach bricks tucked in the corners.
- Scoring
- Higher rows are worth more. Knock out several bricks without touching the paddle in between and each one is worth more than the last — up to five times.
- Stages
- Clear the wall and a new one appears, with more rows and a faster ball. From stage 2 the top row needs two hits — you'll see it flash white when it's damaged.
- Tip
- The best move is to punch a hole up one side and let the ball loose above the bricks. It'll bounce around up there clearing rows on its own while you wait.
