Fireballs, Power-Ups, and Skill-Based Chaos

Get ready to bounce, blast, and break your way to the top! In Retro Breakout, every tap, shot, and rebound brings you closer to victory. With power-ups flying, fireballs blazing, and the clock ticking, it’s pure arcade energy.

Tap, Aim, and Fire

You’ve got two minutes and three lives to destroy as many bricks as you can.

Tap and hold your paddle at the bottom of the screen to aim your shot, then release to launch the ball into play. Keep your paddle moving to deflect each rebound and keep the ball in play. Every miss costs a life.

The match ends when all regular bricks are cleared, you lose all three lives, or time runs out. When it’s over, your final score gets a bonus boost for every second left on the clock and each extra life you still have.

Break Every Brick

Each brick you destroy earns 50 points, but not all bricks are the same.

• Regular Bricks: Break these with your normal ball.
• Static Bricks: Strike these, but they won’t break unless you’re powered up.
• Evil Bricks: Hit these and your ball speeds up, raising the stakes.
• Explosive Bricks: Blast these and watch them take nearby bricks down too.

After a few perfect hits, your standard ball ignites into a fireball that burns through anything in its path. Timing your rebounds to reach that fiery state is key. 

Collect Shards and Power-Ups

Keep your eyes open, because when a brick breaks, it might drop something special:

• Shards: catch them with your paddle for 10 bonus points.
• Power-Ups:
  • Gray gives you an extra ball.
  • Blue expands your paddle.
  • Purple gives you laser power.
  • Red shrinks your paddle.
