Test your quick skills in Block Breaker! Destroy as many blocks as possible by controlling your ball intelligently. Try not to let your ball fall down!
Block Breaker is more commonly known as Breakout, and its variations are classic arcade games that still retain their appeal today. The game has a fairly simple mechanic where the player controls a horizontal bar to the left or right and tries to keep their ball from falling down. Try to always bounce the ball upwards to break the stacked brick structures. The player's task is to try to get the ball to touch the blocks and destroy as many blocks as possible.
The Paddle is a flat rectangular block located horizontally at the bottom corner of the screen. It acts as a defensive line to prevent the ball from falling. It can only move horizontally when moving left or right at the bottom edge of the screen. Its purpose is to catch and bounce the ball back up.
The Ball is a simple circle and is much smaller than the Paddle and the blocks. The ball will be pushed by the bar onto the blocks, and it will bounce randomly. When it touches a block, that block will disappear. The Ball's speed usually increases over time or when the player breaks a certain number of blocks, increasing the difficulty of the game. Some power-ups can also temporarily change the Ball's speed. The Ball's direction changes based on the angle of impact with the Paddle and the blocks.
When the Ball hits the Paddle, its vertical direction of travel will reverse, pushing it back up. As mentioned in the Paddle section, the horizontal position of the Paddle will affect the horizontal direction of the Ball after bouncing. When the Ball hits a block, that block will disappear (or take damage, depending on the type of block), and the Ball will bounce in a new direction based on the angle of impact.
Blocks are usually arranged in a grid structure at the top of the screen. This layout can be simple (even rows and columns) or more complex (forming drawings, letters, or other designs). Each level usually has a separate Blocks layout. The color of the Blocks is often used to differentiate the score value the player receives when breaking them. Different colors can correspond to different points (e.g. red gives more points than blue).
When the Ball hits a Block, the Block will disappear (or take damage), and the Ball will bounce in a new direction based on the angle of impact. The player will receive points when breaking a Block. The amount of points usually depends on the color or type of Block.
