The objective of a round
Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
Step by step
- Start the ball.
- Move the paddle to intercept it.
- Paddle contact changes the outgoing angle.
- Restart a remaining ball after a loss.
The controls to know
Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.
One way to understand the rules
An edge hit sends the ball at a different angle. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
An important reminder
Track its landing point, not only its current x-coordinate. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
