Atari Breakout

The originator of the brick-breaking game genre is Atari Breakout. Initially launched in 1976 by Atari, capitalizing on the significant success of Pong. The attraction of Atari Breakout hasn't gone down in fifty years. The newer versions have better images and more features, and this game also shows that it's fun to play.

Atari Breakout Gameplay Rules

Destroy every block in sight in Atari Breakout; it is your objective.

At the screen's base, you have a paddle that you can use to propel the ball higher. Bricks will break every time the ball hits one. The level may be completed simply by removing all the bricks.

You will fail if the ball falls into the abyss and goes past your slider. Be careful; you have limited lives!

Game Modes & Difficulty

This single-speed variant isn't dull. Choose one of three difficulties based on your reflexes.

Normal: Balanced ball speed, ideal for getting started and light entertainment.

Hard: The ball moves significantly faster. In return, your score will be tripled.

Impossible: For those with golden reflexes. Extremely fast speed, requiring high concentration, but the reward is a fivefold multiplier.

Power-Ups

The selling point of the modern Atari Breakout version is the power-ups that drop randomly from destroyed bricks.

Triple Ball: Duplicates the ball into three, allowing for lightning-fast brick breaking.

Wide Paddle: Extends your support bar, making it easier to catch the ball.

Heavy Ball: Turns the ball into a "steamroller," driving it through bricks without bouncing back.

Laser Paddle: Equips a laser gun on the slider to directly blast bricks

We hope you have a great time enjoying Atari Breakout!
