Rebound

Also known as Brick Breaker and Bricks

Bat and ball against a court of bricks. Where the ball meets the paddle sets its angle, so placement matters more than speed. Clear the court and a fresh one is dealt; every brick you break makes the ball quicker.

How it works

  • Drag anywhere to slide the paddle along the bottom.
  • Where the ball meets the paddle sets its angle — take it centre to send it straight back, near an edge to send it wide.
  • Some bricks take two hits. Clear the whole court and a fresh one is dealt.
  • Every brick you break speeds the ball up.
  • Your score is the bricks broken. Lose the ball and the round ends.

The same rules are shown inside the app, on the puzzle’s overview screen — one tap opens the difficulty choice and how to play together, so you never have to go looking for them.

Good if you want…
