How to use it

- Where the ball hits the paddle sets its angle, so aim your bounces.
- Catch the falling dots for a wider paddle, extra balls or a slower ball.
Questions
What do the falling dots do?
Green widens the paddle for a while, yellow adds two more balls and blue slows the ball down. Each one you catch also adds 25 points.
How do I score?
A hit on a tough brick is 5 points and breaking it is 10. Clearing every brick adds 100 and moves you to the next layout, which is harder and faster.
What happens when I miss the ball?
You lose one of three chances, the ball goes back on the paddle and any power-up ends. Lose all three and the game is over.
Is my record kept in Breakout?
Yes, as a best score in this browser on this device. Nothing is uploaded, and clearing the site data resets it.
