The goal to keep in mind
Clear all forty-five bricks before losing three balls. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
From the start of a round
- Start the ball.
- Move the paddle to intercept it.
- Paddle contact changes the outgoing angle.
- Restart a remaining ball after a loss.
How to use the controls
Pointer, arrow keys or held Left/Right. Start / pause and New round are available. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
An edge hit sends the ball at a different angle. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
Where a round can go wrong
Track its landing point, not only its current x-coordinate. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
