🎮 How to Play

Welcome to The Brick gameplay! Your mission is to smash all the bricks on each level using a ball and a paddle. Start by launching the ball with your paddle. Keep the ball in play by bouncing it back each time it heads toward the bottom of the screen. Collect falling power-ups for game-changing advantages and avoid missing the ball, as that costs a life. Each new level introduces faster speeds and more challenging layouts, testing your reflexes in this high-pace arcade classic. The core mechanic is simple but mastering it is the key to a top score!

🎯 Objectives

Your short-term goal is to completely destroy the current brick layout without letting the ball fall past your paddle. Each brick you smash adds to your score.

Victory is achieved by mastering your paddle's movement and using power-ups strategically to survive and thrive.

💡 Pro Tips

Ready to master The Brick and climb the leaderboards? Here are some pro tips to boost your performance.

🎪 Skill-Based Techniques: Instead of just reacting, try to control the ball's angle. Hitting the ball with the edges of your paddle creates sharper angles, making it easier to hit tricky corner bricks and break formations faster.

⚡ Efficiency Strategies: Focus on creating cascading reactions. Aim for clusters of bricks or specific colors that might be worth more points. A well-placed shot can clear a large section, giving you more time to prepare for the next volley.

💰 Resource Optimization: Always prioritize catching power-ups, especially the "Expand Paddle" and "Slow Ball" ones, as they give you much more control
