Arcade BrickOut Game Play Instructions

• Playing the Game
  • Click the play button arrow in the game to start the game.
    • If this is your first play that will start you on the first level of the game.
    • This game has 10 levels of increasing difficulty.
    • If you have played before this will bring up the level selection screen and allow you to select any level you have played before.
    • Your gameplay data is stored in your local web browser.
  • The upper left corner of the game allows you to toggle full screen mode on or off.
  • The upper right corner of the game allows you to turn sound on or off.
  • This game is more colorful and happier than the original it aims to emulate, it however has more breakable bricks closer to the launch point, so it is quite easy to die.
• Strategy
  • Click your mouse to release the ball, shooting it upward to break the bricks.
    • Some bricks only take a single hit, whereas some can take multiple hits.
    • The silver bricks can not be broken.
    • Be cautious when hitting bricks near the bottom of the playing field at a significant angle as the ball returns quickly.
    • If it is possible to get the ball to slide through a narrow opening and bounce around above the blocks that is ideal for players as they get to take many bricks out of the game without needing to repeatedly hit the ball with the paddle.
  • Track where the ball is going and try to meet it with your paddle.
    • It is generally best to hit the ball with the middle portion of the paddle as it causes the ball to travel in a more vertical direction, which is easier to track.
    • If you hit the ball near an edge of the paddle the ball will move at a significant angle off the paddle.
  • You are given three lives. Anytime the ball falls below your paddle you lose a life.
    • If you lose you can restart the game with 3 lives on whatever level you are playing.
    • One frustrating thing about this game is if your mouse goes outside the game window sometimes the paddle freezes position.
  • This game has many power ups hidden inside the breakable blocks.
    • You can catch these power ups with your paddle.
    • Some of them will slow the ball down, make your paddle wider, add guns to the sides of your paddle, or make your paddle magnetic.
    • While all three of those options make the game easier, sometimes people chasing the bonuses miss the ball and die.
    • There is also a “bonus” which is the opposite, making your paddle shorter.
