How to play

Move the paddle left and right to bounce the ball and break all 40 bricks lined up at the top of the board. Letting the ball fall past your paddle costs a life; you start with 3 lives, and the game ends once they're all gone.

Scoring

Each brick you break is worth 10 points, for a maximum of 400 points when you clear the board. Clearing it without losing a life is the most reliable way to keep your score high.

Tips

The ball bounces at a sharper angle off the edges of the paddle, so use the paddle's tip to redirect it where you want.
Bricks tucked into a corner often get cleared by a lucky bounce later on - no need to chase them down right away.
Once you're down to one life, keep the paddle positioned ahead of the ball's path rather than reacting late.
