Breakoid
A paddle at the bottom of the screen bounces a ball upward to break a wall of bricks at the top. Each brick has a color that indicates how many hits it takes: green breaks in one hit, yellow takes two, red takes three, and silver is indestructible but moves side to side. Power-ups drop from broken bricks: a multi-ball that adds two more balls to play, a wide paddle that doubles your surface area, a laser that lets you shoot projectiles from the paddle, and a magnet that temporarily sticks the ball to the paddle for aimed release. The game has 40 levels with unique brick layouts, plus four boss levels where the bricks form a large shape that moves and shoots projectiles you must dodge while still breaking bricks. The ball speed increases each level, and losing all three balls ends the game.

Combat Tips
Focus on mastering the core mechanic early: a paddle at the bottom of the screen bounces a ball upward to break a wall of bricks at the top. Accuracy matters more than raw speed. Once you can navigate sections cleanly, the speed will come naturally. Aim for positioning that gives you clear sight lines. Rushing shots wastes ammunition and leaves you vulnerable. The game has 40 levels with unique brick layouts, plus four boss levels where the bricks form a large shape that moves and shoots projectiles you must dodge while still breaking bricks.
