A webpage version of the classic 'Breakout' game in which a player tries to bounce a ball off his/her paddle and knock out bricks. As you knock out the bricks, a picture will be uncovered.

Helpful Hints:

  • Keep your cursor inside the boxed area or you will lose control of your paddle.
  • With practice, you will be able to make the ball change direction by moving the paddle in the opposite direction that the ball is traveling as you hit the ball.
  • The game is offered without sound effects so you won't bug your parents... or your family, since I know some of you grownups will play it too!
