How to Play Breakout Retro
Move your paddle to keep the ball in play and destroy all the bricks above. Collect falling power-ups to gain special abilities. You have 3 lives — don't let the ball fall off the bottom!
Controls
- Mouse Movement / Touch: Move the paddle left and right
- Click: Start the game / restart after game over
Power-ups
- W (Wide): Makes the paddle wider for 8 seconds
- + (Multi-ball): Splits existing balls into more balls
- S (Slow): Slows all balls for 8 seconds

Ball Angle
Where the ball hits the paddle affects its return angle. Hit with the center for a straight shot, or the edges for sharp angled returns — great for reaching stubborn bricks!
