NEON BREAKER

Neon Breaker: free to play in your browser

Neon Breaker is a brick breaker with a twist: some of the bricks fight back. Bounce the ball off your paddle to smash every breakable brick and clear the level. Eight hand-built levels lead into an endless run of generated stages that get faster and tougher as you go.

Play solo, or team up in two-player co-op with two paddles side by side and shared lives. It works with a controller, keyboard or mouse, and on phones and iPads you just drag your paddle.

How to play

1. Choose 1 Player or 2 Player Co-op.
2. Move your paddle with the stick, d-pad, A/D, the arrow keys, or by dragging.
3. Launch the ball with A, Space or Enter, or tap the screen. It launches itself after ten seconds.
4. Where the ball hits your paddle sets its angle: the edges send it out wide.
5. Catch falling capsules for power-ups, and dodge the red shots fired by glitch bricks.
6. Break every brick to clear the level. Steel bricks cannot be broken and do not count.

Game modes

1 Player

A solo run with three lives. You get a bigger paddle than in co-op.

2 Player Co-op

Two paddles share the bottom of the screen and one pool of lives. After a lost ball, the serve swaps to the other player.

Tips

• Your combo builds with every brick broken and resets when the ball touches a paddle, so long rallies through the bricks are worth far more.
• Orange explosive bricks destroy everything around them and can set each other off. Aim for them in crowded areas.
• A glitch shot freezes your paddle for about a second. Move away when a red brick starts flashing.
• With lasers, fire into red glitch shots to destroy them for 50 points.
• Multi-ball splits into three balls; you only lose a life when the last one falls.
• Clearing a level pays a bonus for each life left, so protect your lives.
