How to Play Breakout
Move your paddle left and right to keep the ball in play and aim it into the remaining bricks. Angling the ball off the edge of your paddle changes its bounce direction, which is useful for reaching bricks in the corners. Clear all the bricks to win, and avoid letting the ball fall past your paddle.
