Brick Breaker Game Rules: A Beginner’s Guide to Bounce Blast

Your goal is to survive as many rounds as possible while earning points. Numbered bricks move one row closer to the bottom after each volley. If any brick reaches the danger line, the run ends.

There is no fixed final level. Brick durability rises as the run continues, so the challenge is to grow your ball count and improve your shot efficiency faster than the board becomes stronger.

A round begins in the aiming phase. Drag in the playfield to choose an angle, then release to launch. Every available ball follows the same initial direction with a short delay between launches.

The balls bounce from side walls, the ceiling, and bricks. When every ball has returned to the floor, the volley ends. The board descends, a new row appears, and you can aim again.

The number on a brick is its remaining durability. Each ball collision removes one point. A brick showing 8 therefore needs eight more hits before it breaks.

High numbers do not always require a direct attack. A long rebound path can hit the same brick several times, and blast effects can reduce durability without a normal collision.

You earn points whenever a brick breaks. Destroying several bricks during the same volley builds a combo, and larger combos increase the score multiplier. Strong bricks are worth more because they require more hits.

A high score depends on both survival and efficient clearing. Longer runs create tougher bricks with greater point value, while good bank shots let one volley destroy several targets.

Circular “+” items add balls to your total when touched. Some pickups add more than one ball. The new balls become part of your volley, and your total also increases by one after every completed round.

The maximum is 100 balls. At high counts, the speed control can shorten the waiting time after the important part of the route is established.

A brick with a ✦ symbol is a blast brick. When destroyed, it damages nearby bricks in the same row, adjacent rows, and diagonal positions. A chain reaction can occur when that damage destroys another blast brick.

Blast bricks are most useful in dense groups. Try to trigger them before their neighbors have already been cleared.

Breaking normal bricks charges the Energy Blast meter. When it reaches 100 percent, the Energy Blast button becomes available during the aiming phase. Activating it removes every brick in the lowest occupied row and resets the charge.

Energy Blast is a defensive resource. It can save a run when normal shots cannot remove the bottom row in time, so consider the next few rounds before spending it.

You can play with the input method that fits your device:

• Mouse or touch: drag in the field to aim and release to fire.
• Left and Right arrows: adjust the aim angle.
• Space: fire the volley.
• P or Escape: pause or resume.
• F: toggle triple speed while balls are moving.
• B: activate Energy Blast when it is ready.
