BlackBerry BrickBreaker Rules

BrickBreaker is a game made by Plazmic that ships with every BlackBerry with a color screen.

Objective

A player uses a horizontally scrolling paddle to bounce a ball off bricks, breaking them in the process. The goal is to clear the boards by breaking all the bricks.

Lives

Players start a game with three lives, but can collect extra lives from power-ups.

Scoring

Players score points by hitting bricks and collecting power-ups. Bricks are 10 points per hit and power-ups are 50 points each. Some power-ups give you bonus points when they are used to hit bricks.

Bricks

Bricks can take anywhere between one and four hits with a ball before they are broken. There are bricks, denoted by a different color, that can only be broken with a "Gun" power-up.

Power-Ups

The power-ups available are Bomb, Catch, Flip, Gun, Laser, Life, Long, Multi and Slow. Bomb, Gun and Laser give extra points when used to break bricks.

Boards

There are 34 boards per level. The same boards repeat in subsequent levels, but descend at a faster rate.
