Breakout is a classic action game published for DOS by Atari, Inc. in 1978. In this iconic title, you control a paddle at the bottom of the screen to bounce a ball upwards, aiming to destroy layers of colored bricks without letting the ball fall past your defense.
How to play
The objective is to clear every brick on the screen using a single bouncing ball. Move the paddle left and right to intercept the ball and keep it in play. The game is controlled using the standard keyboard keys to maneuver the paddle. You can play in fullscreen by pressing Right Alt + Enter.
Tips
- Hit the ball with the edges of your paddle to send it at a sharper angle, which helps in aiming for specific remaining bricks.
- Try to focus on breaking a vertical column through the wall; sending the ball into the space above the bricks will trap it, letting it score many points in rapid succession.
