Breakout

Game Guide

Overview

Every run of Breakout comes back to the same task: Break all the bricks by bouncing the ball off your paddle. First signal: Move mouse or drag to control the paddle. Second signal: Bounce the ball to break bricks above. A failed run should point to a specific timing, route, or control issue.

Controls

Control cue: Don't let the ball fall below the paddle. Let the game confirm the result before stacking another action on top, especially when the screen is crowded.

Scoring and Progress

Scoring cue: Clear all bricks to advance to the next level. Keep the final score, but also remember the last safe position or last correct decision.

Strategy Tips

Practice rule: Hit the ball with the paddle edge for angled shots. The game rewards short reactions, rhythm, and repeatable control, so look ahead by two cues when possible.
