About

Brixpop

Features
Read full description

Brixpop is a neon brick breaker you play with one finger. Drag the paddle, release, and send the ball into the bricks. Every ten levels is a city. The road starts in Turkey, with Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, and Antalya, then the cities after them. Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Egypt, Japan, and Brazil come next. When a city opens, you cross its map. When a country ends, its flag grows on the screen and the next country begins. How to play • Your finger guides the paddle. The ball goes where you aim. • Break bricks, stretch your combo, and beat your record. • Shield, wide paddle, slow ball, multi ball, extra life, pierce, magnet, and double score can save the run. • A keeper holds the road every five levels. Sparks and the shop Broken bricks earn sparks. Spend them on paddles, trails, and skies. These change how the game looks. Buying them does not make it easier. Come back each day and grow your streak. Day seven gifts the Night paddle. The first level is ad-free. After that, a short ad can double your sparks, give one more life on the same board, or grant a shield against the keeper. No account needed. Your score and progress stay on your device.
