Brick Breaker
Bounce the ball off your paddle, smash all the bricks, and don't let the ball slip past you.
Tip: where the ball lands on the paddle changes its angle — edge hits send it off at a sharp angle.

How to play
Keep the ball in play by bouncing it off the paddle. Each brick you break is worth 10 points; clear all 40 bricks to advance to the next level, where the ball moves faster. You have three lives — every time the ball falls past the paddle you lose one, and the ball resets to the paddle ready for a fresh launch.
The bounce angle is in your control: a ball striking the center of the paddle rebounds fairly straight, while one striking near the edge flies off at up to 60 degrees. Use edge hits to aim for stubborn bricks tucked in the corners, and try to get the ball above the brick wall so it rattles around and clears several bricks per trip.
