## What is Blindfold Breakout?

Blindfold Games are entertainment apps provided as a service to the visually impaired community by Objective Ed.  Your in-app upgrades pay for the development and support of these games. 

Breakout is an fully accessible audio game that's similar to the classic arcade game breakout.

In Breakout, you have a paddle, a ball, and a series of bricks.  First, tap the screen to launch the ball from your paddle.  When it hits a brick, the brick is shattered, and the ball bounces back to your paddle.

To move your paddle,  move the phone left and right.   Using head phones or ear buds, you hear the ball heading towards you, and the ball will bounce off of your paddle when it's sound is in the center of your head.

Breakout comes with a tutorial level, and several games.  Simple Breakout starts off with one row of eight bricks that you must destroy, then moves onto two rows, then three, all the way up to 10 rows of bricks. 

The ball gets faster each time you hit it with your paddle, and you can change the bounce angle by hitting it at the left or right side of your paddle. 

The game comes with coins; you need one coin to play.  More coins are available as an in-app upgrade.

### 5/5 — My review

*2021-06-04, version 1.5.3*

I’ love it

### 1/5 — Blindfold games? Broken games.

*2019-06-21, version 1.5.0*

Fun as hell but sometimes the paddle simply disappears, giving the player nothing. Also, I have over 4K points in this game and I know what I am talking about. Like so many of the blindfold games, this has tons of potential but comes across as as a rushed mess that fails to execute the most basic of touch screen and directional phone mechanics. If fixed, this would be a very addictive game.
