❓ Frequently Asked Questions
▶How do I control the paddle in Breakout Classic?
On desktop, move your mouse left and right — the paddle follows your cursor. You can also use the arrow keys or A/D keys. On mobile, touch and drag your finger across the screen to position the paddle.
▶What do the power-ups do?
Three power-ups can drop from broken bricks: the Wide Paddle (cyan ➡️) makes your paddle significantly larger for 12 seconds, Multi-Ball (purple ✖️) adds two extra balls to the field, and Slow Ball (green 🐢) reduces ball speed for 10 seconds so you can plan your shots.
▶Does Breakout Classic get harder as you progress?
Yes! Each new level adds more rows of bricks, and from Level 3 onward the top rows contain reinforced bricks that require two hits to break. Ball speed also increases slightly with each level, making precise paddle control more important.
