Bounce, smash, repeat - BrickBroke is the classic brick breaker rebuilt for your phone, with neon bricks, satisfying physics and a surprise around every corner. Aim with a flick, launch the ball, and watch the wall come apart. Every brick you break feeds your combo, and a long enough streak sends you into FEVER for triple points. It is the arcade game you already know how to play, polished until it feels great. WHAT YOU GET • 160 HAND-BUILT LEVELS across eight worlds - Neon City, Deep Space, Candy Lab, Frozen Orbit, Solar Forge, Void Temple, Crystal Reef and Neon Circuit, each introducing new brick types and tricks. • BOSS FIGHTS - take down the Reef Leviathan and the Circuit Mothership: knock out the turrets, crack the core, clear the world. • ENDLESS TOWER - the wall keeps descending and speeds up as you climb. Post your best on the weekly Top 10. • DAILY CHALLENGE AND QUESTS - one fresh level every day, the same for every player, plus three daily quests to claim. • STAR CHEST - every 15 stars you earn fills a chest of coins. • BONUS ROUNDS - every fifth level clear drops you into a 20-second coin frenzy with no way to lose. • POWER-UPS AND BOOSTERS - multi-ball, wide paddle, fireball, laser cannon, magnet, safety net and slow-motion from mystery bricks, plus boosters you can pick before a level. • SPECIAL BRICKS - explosive booms that chain, coin bricks, piñatas that rain gold, ghost bricks that phase in and out, portals that teleport the ball and conveyor rows that slide. • BALL SKINS AND PADDLES - comet trails, a rainbow ball and more in the shop. BUILT TO FEEL GOOD • One thumb, portrait, playable anywhere • Instant restarts - no waiting around after a miss • Levels play offline; the daily and weekly boards need a connection • No account or sign-up needed • Progress backs up automatically so a new phone picks up where you left off Free to play, with optional purchases that remove ads or skip the wait between lives.
