Complete guide to playing Breakout — rules, controls, tips, and strategies.
Breakout is a classic arcade game originally developed by Atari in 1976. The player controls a paddle at the bottom of the screen and bounces a ball to destroy rows of bricks at the top. The game has inspired countless variations and remains one of the most recognizable arcade games ever made.
Move the paddle left and right using arrow keys or your mouse. The ball launches from the paddle and bounces around the screen. When it hits a brick, the brick is destroyed and you earn points. Don't let the ball fall below the paddle — you have 3 lives. Clear all bricks to advance to the next level, where the ball moves faster.
