Breakit

Aim, release, break

Every shot in Breakit starts the same way. You pick a direction with the mouse, or with a finger on a touchscreen, and the ball goes off when you let go. From there it bounces and knocks out the blocks it hits. Breaking a whole cluster in one shot is where the fun of the game comes from, and getting there is all about where you point before you release.

Falling blocks and rising speed

The challenge in Breakit is that the blocks keep coming. They fall in ways you cannot fully predict, and as you clear levels they pick up speed. Later stages test your timing and your accuracy much more than the early ones do, so you will need to change your approach as you go instead of repeating the same shot.

Tips from the developer

The game itself offers a couple of pointers. Look at how the blocks are arranged before you shoot, since spotting the pattern helps you choose a better angle. And keep your aim steady: a calm, careful shot is more likely to land where you want it than a rushed one.

Who will enjoy it

If you like quick arcade games with a simple idea and a growing challenge, Breakit is worth a try. Each round is short, the rules are easy to pick up, and the speed keeps climbing, so there is always a reason to have one more go and see how far you can push it.
