## In short

Toybreak is a classic brick breaker set in a toy room. Slide the paddle with the mouse, click to launch the ball, break rows of coloured bricks, catch falling power-ups for extra points and keep your three lives across ten levels.

**How to control it:** Press play, choose level 1 and read the hint. Move the mouse to slide the paddle and click to launch the ball; if the ball stays on the paddle, click once more. Keep the paddle under the ball, break all the bricks and catch falling power-ups for extra points. You have three lives, shown at the top with your level and score; the top buttons switch full screen, sound and pause.

**Toybreak** is a classic brick breaker that runs in your browser. In a toy room shown in a tall, phone-style column, you slide a paddle with the mouse, launch a ball with a click and bounce it into rows of coloured bricks until the board is clear.

## How to play

1. Press the **play** button on the start screen and pick **level 1** ; the other nine levels are locked.
2. Read the hint card: move the paddle with the mouse to bounce the ball and destroy all the bricks.
3. **Click** to launch the ball (after the hint it can take a second click).
4. Keep the **paddle under the ball** . Each brick you break adds points to your score.
5. Catch falling **power-ups** with the paddle for extra points and special effects.
6. You have **three lives** ; a lost ball costs one, and the heart counter at the top shows how many are left.

## What you see on screen

- **Top bar:** LEVEL, SCORE, your lives, and buttons for full screen, sound, pause and exit.
- **Playfield:** rows of red, blue, yellow and green bricks, a pink paddle and a ball.
- **Start screen:** the TOY BREAK title with a play button, info and sound buttons.

## Tips

- Follow the ball. In our tests a paddle left still in the middle scored 10 points in about 20 seconds, while a paddle swinging around scored 5.
- Do not wander: a moving paddle that is not under the ball wastes the rebound.
- Catch power-ups when they fall near the paddle, but not at the cost of the ball.
