Bricks of Zai vs Shadow Split

Bricks of Zai is a brick breaker for iPhone and iPad: a paddle, a ball, and eighteen boards that each bend the rules. Steer through shifting gravity wells, stop a descending alien fleet, cross a busy street, break ice with fire, clear a BASIC program line by line. Quick to pick up, hard to put down, and it plays offline. Where it came from: the journey began with Blockbuster on the Microvision handheld console in the 1980s—one of the pioneering brick-breaking games that captured our imagination with its simple yet addictive gameplay. Those early digital experiences sparked joy with nothing more than a paddle, a ball, and a wall of bricks. At Zai Studio, we wanted to reconnect with that fun while bringing the genre into the modern era. We asked ourselves: what made those classic games so engaging, and how could we honor that legacy while creating something fresh? Bricks of Zai is our answer. We started with the traditional Blockbuster-inspired board, but then we took it ten steps further. Navigate through shifting gravitational fields that bend the trajectory of your ball, defend against a fleet of descending alien ships before they reach Earth, or experience a zen-like challenge with falling character glyphs that create a harmonious pattern as you clear them from the board.
