About

MicroBrick

Features
Read full description

MicroBrick is a vertical brick breaker built around tiny dense bricks, fast rebounds, and satisfying ball splits. Start each level with one ball, find the right opening, hit split bricks, and turn the board into a cascade of bouncing balls. Official levels focus on narrow entrances, upper bounce chambers, dense brick fields, and quick clear moments. You can also build simple name maps, publish them locally to the map store list, and play shared-style map listings directly from the app. The current version is local-first and does not require an account. Premium Pass is an optional one-time Apple In-App Purchase that unlocks all official levels. Free levels, the map builder, and playable map store entries remain available without a purchase. MicroBrick uses Game Center for optional leaderboards and achievements. Player-created maps and progress are stored locally on the device in the current version.
