Breakout

Instructions:

Click on the applet to start.
You can move the paddle left and right using the left and right arrow keys
Pressing space releases the balls, and fires the gun if you have one.

There are a number of bonuses that you can get

• Ball Splitter: splits the ball in 2 evertime it hits your paddle
• Destroyer Ball: makes the ball pass through bricks without bouncing
• Double Ball Bonus: keeps 2 balls in the playing field, when one ball dies, the other splits in 2
• Extra Life: gives you an extra life
• Gun: lets you fire bullets by pressing space
• Long Paddle: gives you a longer paddle
• Slow: slows the ball down
• Sticky Paddle: makes balls stick to your paddle
• Triple Bonus: splits the ball in three

When you finish a level, the game prints out a level code. By typing this level code and pressing < enter > you can jump directly to that level.
The level code is printed to the java console output. To see this output in IE go view - java console. In Netscape its under Communicator - tools - java console.
You may have to enable the java console before you can see it. In IE go to tools - internet options - advanced - java vm - java console enabled.
