About Brick Buster

Brick Buster is a classic brick-breaker arcade game in the tradition of Breakout and Arkanoid. A wall of coloured bricks at the top. A paddle at the bottom. A ball that bounces between them. Smash every brick to clear the level. Miss the ball and lose a life. Simple — and brilliant.

Brick Buster's longevity as a genre comes from how the angle physics never get boring. Hitting the ball with the centre of the paddle sends it straight up. Hitting with the edge angles it sharply. Power-ups drop from special bricks and change the game state — multi-balls, paddle-stretches, laser shots. Every cleared level reveals a new arrangement and a new challenge.

This Brick Buster is free, browser-based and works equally well with mouse, keyboard and touch. There is no sign-up, no installer and no microtransactions. Your best level is saved locally between sessions. It is one of the most timeless games on the site — a true classic that still plays great today.

— Strategy & tips

How to win

  • Hit with the edge of the paddle to control angle. The centre sends balls straight up — boring.
  • Aim for the corner bricks first. A ball trapped behind the wall clears huge sections for free.
  • Catch power-ups even when you do not need them. They prevent the bad power-ups from spawning.
  • Stay near the centre of the screen. You can reach either edge fastest from the middle.
  • When the ball is slow, set up a long angle. Slow balls reward planning.
