Brick

How to play Brick

Brick has two modes. The daily wall gives everyone the same fresh layout each day: clear every brick as fast as you can. The clock starts at your first launch and stops when the last brick breaks. Bricks with a dark frame take two hits, the M brick drops a tile for three balls and the W brick a tile for a wider paddle. A lost ball never ends the run, it adds three seconds and puts a fresh ball on your paddle. Beat par, the time a steady autopilot needs plus a little slack, and share your best time of the day. Classic mode is the original: bounce the amber ball into the rainbow bricks, clear each level to move on through a pyramid, diamond, zigzag, heart and arrow layout, and catch falling letter tiles. 3 splits the ball into three, W makes your paddle wider for ten seconds, L gives an extra life and S slows the action down for eight seconds. You start with three lives. Use the arrow keys, A and D, or drag your finger on mobile.

Tips

• Aim with the edge of your paddle, the angle of impact decides where the ball goes
• On the daily wall, go for the M brick early, three balls break bricks a lot faster than one
• A lost ball costs three seconds, so a safe return beats a risky angle when you are close to par
• The last few bricks take the longest, save your sharpest angles for them
• Break a tunnel through one column, once the ball is above the bricks it does the work by itself

About Brick

Brick is a colorful ball-and-paddle arcade game. Keep the ball in the air, smash it into rows of bricks and clear the lot. The daily wall gives everyone the same generated layout each day, with tough bricks, two power bricks and a par time set by an autopilot that plays by the same rules. Classic mode keeps the original: a full rainbow of bricks, a new shape every level and falling letter tiles with power-ups. Free, no install, no ads in the play area.
