Plain
One hit. Light and dark bands alternate so rows never blur together.
In development for iPhone & Android
Endless rounds that get harder, not longer.
Rounds are built on the fly, eleven capsules drop from broken bricks, and the ball is always the brightest thing on screen.
The hits level off. The pressure doesn’t.
Endless modes usually just get longer. Here a round tops out at about 110 hits by round 16, while the ball keeps speeding up and the bricks get stranger.
Averages over 4,050 layouts from the game’s level-generator test. Rounds 10 and 15 are boss rounds: fewer bricks, plus a boss that takes 20 or more hits.

Every round is drawn on the fly.
Ten mirrored shapes, four colour schemes and the difficulty curve decide each layout. In the game, every layout is checked so every breakable brick can be reached.
Drawn in your browser by a port of the game’s round generator.
Every brick tells you what it is.
Dots, rivets and symbols carry the meaning, and neighbouring bands alternate light and dark. Switch the colour off and the field still reads.
Tough
A dot for every hit left. Up to 40% of a round, averaging four hits late on.
Steel
Rivets on each end. Never breaks, and fireballs bounce off it.
Explosive
A dark body with a spark. Blasts the bricks around it; explosive neighbours go off too.
Sliding row
Whole rows sway side to side, up to three at once.
Regrowing
A loop arrow. Grows back after 7 s while other bricks remain, so break it last.
Boss
Three bricks wide, two tall, with a health bar. Fireballs can’t smash it.
Eleven capsules. Two of them are traps.
Timed power-ups count down in a ring at the top of the field. Catch one again to restart it; opposites cancel out, and everything ends when you lose a life or clear the round.

Same five rounds for everyone, every day.
The Daily Challenge is seeded from the date, so every player gets the same run, starting at round-3 difficulty. Retries are unlimited and today’s best is the one that counts.

Easy on the eyes, kind to thumbs.
The ball is always the brightest thing on screen; bricks are solid and muted, with no glow. New bricks, the first capsule and the first hazard each get one short tip, once.

Sound and musicOne switch mutes both; music has its own volume. On iPhone the ringer switch mutes the game.
-
HapticsOn their own switch, separate from sound.
