Bricks Breaker

About Bricks Breaker

Bricks Breaker is the aim-and-release puzzle in its cleanest form. Every brick carries a number, every ball that hits it knocks that number down by one, and the brick disappears when it reaches zero. You get one aim per turn and a whole stream of balls, so the question is never how hard you shoot — it is which angle keeps the balls ricocheting inside the stack the longest.

Each turn the bricks drop a row closer to the bottom line, which turns a relaxing game into a tense one somewhere around level fifteen. It plays perfectly with the sound off and needs nothing but a mouse.

How to play

Click and drag in the direction you want to launch, or use the aiming slider, then release to fire the whole stream of balls. Balls bounce off walls and bricks until they fall back to the bottom, then the bricks advance one row. Clear every brick before the stack reaches the bottom line.

Controls

• Click and drag — aim the launch
• Release — fire the ball stream
• Touch — drag to aim on mobile

Tips to win

• Aim at shallow side angles so balls ricochet between the wall and the stack instead of dropping straight back.
• Target the gap under an overhang — balls trapped in a pocket rack up dozens of hits per turn.
• Clear the columns on the outside first; a lopsided stack gives you far better bounce angles.
