Your objective
Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
From the start of a round
- Start the ball.
- Move the paddle to intercept it.
- Paddle contact changes the outgoing angle.
- Restart a remaining ball after a loss.
How to use the controls
Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
Try this example
An edge hit sends the ball at a different angle. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
Pay attention to this rule
Track its landing point, not only its current x-coordinate. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
