Basic Controls
Drag your finger horizontally across the screen to move the paddle. Tap to launch the ball at the start of each turn. The ball bounces off walls, the paddle, and bricks — your goal is to keep it in play while destroying every block on the board.
Step 1 — Launch
Tap the screen to release the ball upward. Aim for gaps in the brick wall to create open lanes for subsequent bounces.
Step 2 — Track
Follow the ball trajectory and position your paddle beneath its predicted landing spot. Early movement beats reactive scrambling.
Step 3 — Angle
Hit the ball with the paddle edge to send it at sharper angles. Edge hits reach bricks tucked in corners that centre hits miss.
Step 4 — Clear
Destroy all bricks before the remaining wall descends to the paddle line. Each uncleared turn pushes blocks one row closer.
Advanced Strategies
- Golden First: Prioritise golden bricks — they grant bonus points and often sit in hard-to-reach positions.
- Corner Clearing: Use steep angle shots to chip away at side columns before tackling the centre mass.
- Multi-Ball Timing: Activate multi-ball power-ups when the board is densely packed for maximum chain destruction.
- Shield Save: Hold shield power-ups for levels where the wall is close to the paddle line.
- Star Hunting: Three stars require clearing with minimal turns. Plan your opening shot to open a central corridor.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Staying in the centre — lateral movement gives you more angle options.
- Ignoring descending rows — track wall height, not just the ball.
- Wasting power-ups on nearly-empty boards — save them for dense formations.
- Rushing shots — a controlled launch beats a frantic tap every time.
