About Brick Blitz

Brick Blitz is a neon take on the classic breakout game. Keep the ball in play with your paddle and smash every brick to clear the level. Each level is faster and has a new pattern.

How to play

  • Pink bricks take 2 hits and purple 3, steel only breaks to a Fireball, red explosives take their neighbours with them, cyan bricks slide and green bricks heal if you leave them.
  • Where the ball hits the paddle sets its angle. Break bricks without touching the paddle to build a combo up to ×3, and beat the Warden boss every 4th level.
  • Catch Multi-ball, Wide, Laser, Fireball, Slow-mo, Catch and Extra ball capsules, and dodge the red Shrink capsule. You have three balls.

Controls

Drag anywhere below the paddle to slide it, and tap to launch. On a computer, use the mouse or the arrow keys, Space to launch and P to pause.

More about Brick Blitz

Brick Blitz is breakout with several layers of risk. Tough bricks, explosives, sliding and healing bricks change how you aim, and the Warden boss changes what you are aiming for. It trains angle control and patience, because the best shots are the ones that send the ball behind the wall, not the ones that bounce straight back.

Early levels are generous and slower, which lets you learn how the paddle position controls the angle. Around level 2 explosive bricks start to appear, and from level 5 gold bricks need two hits. By level 7 moving bricks are tougher and some bricks heal, so you need to finish areas instead of leaving them half done. Ball speed rises with each level, and every fourth level the Warden shoots bombs while you try to hit its core.

Scoring and progress

Break bricks without touching the paddle to build a combo. Every 5 breaks adds ×0.5 to the multiplier, up to ×3. Clearing a level gives 100 times the level number, and a Warden is worth 500 times its tier. Your grade depends on the level you reached, from C at level 2 up to S at level 8, and each difficulty keeps its own best score. Easy has a wider paddle and slower ball.

Common questions

How many balls do I have?
You start with three, and an Extra ball capsule can add one more, up to five. Multi-ball capsules create temporary extra balls, but they do not add to your lives.

What do the capsules do?
Multi-ball splits the ball, Wide enlarges the paddle, Laser fires bolts, Fireball burns through bricks, Slow-mo slows the ball and Catch holds it on the paddle. Shrink is the only harmful one.

When does the boss appear?
Every fourth level is a Warden boss level. You must hit its core while avoiding its bombs, and defeating it drops the wall and gives bonus points.

Tips and strategy

  • Aim with the paddle edge. Hitting the ball near the edge sends it sideways, which is the way to reach bricks along the walls and the top corners.
  • Dig a channel on one side and let the ball bounce around behind the wall. It can clear many bricks while your combo keeps growing.
  • Go for explosive bricks when they sit next to others, since the blast takes out the neighbors without a ball touching them.
  • Keep Fireball capsules for steel bricks, which only break to that power-up. Do not waste time bouncing at steel without one.
  • Avoid the red Shrink capsule even if it is close. It narrows the paddle for 9 seconds, which makes edge saves much harder.
  • Do not chase capsules at the cost of the ball. Extra balls are capped at five, so a missed ball matters more than a missed power-up.
