Brick Breaker
Smash every brick to win
Brick Breaker is a paddle, a ball, and a wall of bricks. You slide the paddle to keep the ball in play, and every hit chips the wall down. The angle you return the ball at decides everything, so a clean board comes from aiming, not from fast reflexes alone.

How to play
Playing Brick Breaker
- 1
Drag your finger across the bottom of the screen to slide the paddle left and right.
- 2
Send the ball up into the wall; every brick it touches breaks and adds to your score.
- 3
Hit the ball with the paddle's edge to send it back out at a wide, shallow angle.
- 4
Never let the ball drop below the paddle; that is the only way you lose a round.
- 5
Clear every brick on the screen to finish the level and start the next wall.
Tactics
Three ways to get better at Brick Breaker
Dig a side tunnel
The strongest play is to chew a narrow channel up one edge of the wall. Once the ball gets above the bricks it rattles between the ceiling and the top rows and clears a dozen without you touching it.
Steer with the edges
The paddle is an aiming tool, not just a wall. Contact near the middle sends the ball back steeply; contact near a corner shoots it out wide. Line up the wide shot when a stray brick sits in a far column.
Play the landing spot
Chasing the ball with your eyes makes you late. Pick the point on the paddle line where it will come down, move there early, and wait. That extra beat is what lets you choose an edge hit instead of taking whatever contact you get.
Inside Reel Games
Brick Breaker in the swipe feed
Brick Breaker sits in the vertical feed with everything else, so one swipe up puts a fresh wall in front of you. There is no loading screen to sit through. The game runs on your iPhone, which is why a tunnel in the subway or a plane at cruising altitude does not interrupt it. Nothing plays between rounds either, because the app carries no ads.
Good for waiting for a table on a Friday night.
