About Simply Breakout
This is the best Brick Breaker that everyone can play, extremely simple, but really fun. There are many elements and object, various levels and easy game controls.
How to play Simply Breakout
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |
| Spacebar | Primary action |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
What makes Simply Breakout stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. The result is something you can pick up cold months later.
