onlinegamesbrowser.comHow to play
The ball bounces off the walls, the bricks and your paddle. Your job is to keep it from falling past you while it chips away at the wall. Every brick hit is worth 10 points.
- Press Play, then launch the ball with a tap or Space.
- Slide the paddle under the ball to send it back up.
- Most bricks go in one hit. Blue takes two, purple takes three, and the gray steel ones can't be broken at all.
- Clear every breakable brick to earn a level bonus, then face a new wall with a quicker ball.
- You start with 3 Lives. Each ball that drops past the paddle costs one.
Controls
- Mouse or finger: move along the board and the paddle follows.
- Keyboard: the arrows slide the paddle, and Space sends the ball off.
- Pause: the button or P.
- Where the ball meets the paddle sets its angle: near the middle sends it almost straight up, near an edge sends it out wide to that side.
Tips
- Dig a tunnel through one side of the wall. Once the ball gets above the bricks, it rattles around up there for lots of points.
- Steer with the paddle's edges to aim at the bricks that are left.
- When the ball splits, follow the lowest one.
- Don't waste shots on steel. Aim for the gaps around it.
- Capsules by color: green gives you a wider paddle (12 s), orange turns every ball into three, blue puts the ball in slow motion (10 s), and red is an extra life, to a maximum of 5.
FAQ
Is brick breaker free?
Yes. There's no sign-up and no download, and you can play as many games as you like.
How many levels are there?
There are ten different brick layouts. Beat the tenth and the cycle starts over at a higher ball speed, so a good run lasts as long as your lives do.
Where do power-ups come from?
About one brick in seven releases a falling capsule as it breaks. Catch it on the paddle to use it.
Can I play brick breaker on a Chromebook at school?
Brick breaker needs no install and no account, so it opens in any up-to-date browser, Chromebooks included. A school filter can still block the site, and if it does, only the school's IT team can allow it.
