Retro bricks, a steel ball and a handful of power-ups
Retro pixel bricks, a steel ball and a sliding paddle are all Block Breaker needs. You bounce the ball off the paddle into the wall of blocks above and try to break every one without letting it slip past you. Some blocks drop power-ups when they shatter, and each new level brings a different, harder layout.
How to play Block Breaker
- Press Space to launch the ball from your paddle.
- Track the ball with your paddle so it keeps bouncing back up into the blocks.
- Catch the power-ups that fall from broken blocks, like a longer paddle or triple balls.
- Break every block to clear the level, and try not to miss the ball, since that costs you health.

Tips to play better
- Meet the ball with the ends of the paddle to send it off at sharp angles toward blocks in the corners.
- With triple balls in play, follow the lowest ball and let the other two do their work.
- When twin guns appear, use them on the blocks your ball keeps missing, especially high in the corners.

Block Breaker FAQ
What power-ups can drop?
Broken blocks can release a longer paddle, a slower ball, triple balls, extra health and twin guns that let your paddle shoot blocks directly.
How do I get a higher score?
Clear levels quickly, collect as many power-ups as you safely can and aim for shots that break several blocks before the ball comes back down.
