About

Prism Breakout

Features
Read full description

Prism Breakout is an original neon-arcade game built for one-handed landscape play on iPhone. A paddle and a glowing energy ball sit below; above, a wall of interlocking four-cell pieces descends. Clear the wall before it reaches the line. Hit a piece dead-on to break it. Match your ball's color to a piece for bonus points, chain clears to build combos, and land high-scoring critical hits. Catch power-ups to change your run — widen the paddle, speed up the ball, split into multiball, and more. HOW TO PLAY - Move the paddle to keep the energy ball in play and aim your bounces. - Tap anywhere to launch; the paddle follows your touch. - Break whole pieces with direct hits, and don't let the wall reach the danger line. - Match the ball's color to a piece to score more, and chain clears for combos. POWER-UPS - Wide Paddle — a wider paddle that's easier to rally with. - Fast Ball — a quicker, higher-pressure ball. - Double Score — points count double while it's active. - Big Ball — a larger ball that clears more. - Multiball — several balls in play at once. - Shield — a safety barrier below the paddle. - Laser Paddle — fire from your paddle to break pieces. - Extra Life — one more life. MAKE IT YOURS Unlock and equip cosmetics — ball skins, avatars, ball effects, and animated backgrounds — and choose your soundtrack from a selection of original music tracks. OPTIONAL WORLD LEADERBOARD Play the whole game without creating an account. If you want to compete, opt in to the online World Leaderboard by choosing a public display name — your best scores, with your equipped ball skin and avatar, appear in the global rankings. The leaderboard signs in with an anonymous session (no email, password, or social login) and is powered by Supabase. PRIVACY-FRIENDLY - No ads. - No third-party analytics or tracking. - No in-app purchases. - No account sign-up — the leaderboard is optional and opt-in. Inspired by classic paddle-and-ball arcade play, Prism Breakout uses its own original mechanics, visuals, audio, and level design. "Tetromino" refers only to four-cell shapes. iPhone • iOS 15.0 or later • Landscape
