The goal

Keep the ball in play with your paddle and break every brick to reach the next level.

Playing

Drag anywhere on the board to move the paddle (or use the mouse, or the left and right arrow keys).
Tap (or press Space) to launch the ball.
Where the ball lands on the paddle sets its angle: the edges send it out wide, the middle sends it straight up.

Bricks

Most bricks break with one hit. Outlined bricks take two or three, and fade with each hit.
Clear every brick to move on. Each level is a new pattern, and the ball gets a little faster.

Scoring

Every hit on a brick is worth 10 points. Clearing a level adds 100 times the level number.
You have three balls. Miss the ball with your paddle and you lose one; lose them all and the game ends.
Leave mid-game and you carry on from the start of the level you were on.
