What is distinct here

PlayFree’s Breakout edition keeps the classic paddle-and-brick loop while using paddle impact position to create controllable rebound angles. The canvas scales with the page and accepts mouse, keyboard and touch movement.

Rules

  1. Keep the ball above the bottom edge with your paddle.
  2. Every broken brick adds 10 points.
  3. Clear all 35 bricks before losing three balls.

Strategy tips

  • Aim with the edge of the paddle.
  • Keep watching the ball, not the paddle.

Frequently asked questions

How can I change the ball angle?

Hit the ball away from the paddle center to create a wider angle.

Can I use a keyboard?
