Bounce Breaker

About Bounce Breaker

Bounce Breaker is a brick breaker with a twist: the wall of bricks does not wait. Every few seconds it moves down one row and a new row appears at the top. Bounce the ball off your paddle, the side walls, and the ceiling to break bricks before the wall reaches your paddle.

Each hit scores 10 points. Later rows bring bricks that take two or three hits, and some bricks drop power-ups: a wider paddle, three balls at once, or a slower ball. You have three lives; the game ends when they run out or the wall reaches the paddle. Your high score for each speed stays in this browser.

Features

  • A wall of bricks that moves down one row every few seconds, a little faster each time

  • Mouse, keyboard, touch drag, and on-screen buttons
  • Three lives and optional sound

How to play

  1. Choose a speed, then click the board or press Space to launch the ball.
  2. Move the paddle to bounce the ball into the bricks and catch falling power-ups.
  3. Break bricks faster than the wall comes down to beat your high score.

Frequently asked questions

Where is my high score saved?

In this browser's local storage only, one high score per speed, together with the sound setting. Nothing is uploaded, and clearing site data removes it.

How do I control the paddle?

Move the mouse over the board, or hold Left and Right or A and D. Space, Up, or W launches the ball, and P pauses. On a phone, drag on the board or hold the arrow buttons below it, and tap the board to launch or pause.

When does the game end?

When you miss the ball with your last life, or when the wall of bricks comes down to the paddle. The wall only moves while a ball is in play, so it waits while you get ready to launch.

What do the power-ups do?

Bricks with a red dot drop a capsule when they break. Catch it with the paddle: a bar makes the paddle wider for 12 seconds, three dots split every ball into three, and a ring slows the balls for 10 seconds. Losing a life ends them.

Break bricks with the ball before the wall reaches your paddle. Missing the ball costs a life; you have three.
