About Brickaboo

Brickaboo is a free arcade game you play right in your browser. Use your paddle to bounce a ball up against a wall of bricks. Every brick you hit breaks. Break them all and you move on to the next level. It is easy to learn, but you need quick reactions and plenty of skill.

Twenty worlds

Every level takes place in its own world with its own colours: a sunny beach, a coral reef, the jungle, a volcano, a haunted house, outer space and many more. The further you get, the faster the ball and the tougher the bricks. Some bricks need two or three hits, and metal bricks cannot be broken at all.

Gems, orbs and more

You start every level with 5 lives. Broken bricks sometimes drop items. Catch them with your paddle:

Gems: blue 100, green 200, red 300 and purple 500 points.
Turret: shoot for a while with two small cannons on your paddle.
Blue orb: a wider paddle.
Green orb: a narrower paddle. Better dodge that one!
Orange orb: a faster ball.
Turquoise orb: a slower ball.
Pink orb: an extra ball in play.
Gold star: double points for a while.
Heart: an extra life.

The golden brick

Every level hides one golden brick deep among the others. It only opens when almost all other bricks are gone. Hit it then and it drops a golden gem worth 2,500 points.

Challenge mode

In challenge mode you play on endlessly: every round a new world and a faster ball. You get an extra life after each round. Your best score goes on the global leaderboard.
