Scoring, Combos & Records

Brick points

Breaking a block awards points based on its row. The top row is worth 40 base points per block, then 30, 20, and 10 as you move toward the paddle. Tougher blocks add 15 points for each extra hit point beyond the first.

A hit that damages a block without breaking it awards 6 base points. The active combo multiplier applies to both damage and break points.

Build a combo multiplier

Consecutive block hits inside a 2.1-second window build the combo. Every four hits raise the multiplier by one tier, up to x6. If the timer expires before the next block hit, the combo resets.

Multi-ball and laser hits can keep the streak moving. A wave clear awards its bonus after the block points and then resets the combo for the next level.

Wave-clear bonus and level rewards

Clearing every block awards a bonus of 250 points plus 35 points for each level cleared. The patterns change as you advance, and ball speed rises with each level. The run has 150 levels.

Every third level adds a life, up to the five-life cap. The extra time and reserve can help you keep a high-scoring run alive.

Personal best and global leaderboard

Your personal best is stored in this browser. When a run ends, choose a nickname of up to 18 characters and save the score. You do not need to create an account or password.

The online leaderboard has Today, Week, Month, and All-time views. It stores one best score per browser identity for each period; replaying with a lower score does not add another entry. Your nickname is kept in the browser for the next submission.

The global board becomes available after the project is uploaded to PHP hosting and the MySQL database is configured. The ZIP includes setup files and steps.
