Application: Brick Breaker Special Edition

Good Monday afternoon! Here at BCCHQ, it’s raining, it’s pouring and the gamers are gaming while the writers are writing. It is certainly a good day to play some games. I was looking up some retro games and I found a few that are still pretty fun. I love a good game of smashing bricks with a ball. Fortunately, I stumbled across Brick Breaker Special Edition. I played different variations of this on the PC back in my high school days. I noticed they have some in the Google Play store and while this one may be a little simple for some, a touch-screen makes all of these games a little challenging. This one is easy to play but if you play one that you find better, please let me know if the comments below!
 
Title Screen Easy Stages

 

Sometimes simple games offer the most play-time. Brick Breaker SE is free and if you keep the WiFi off on your tablet, you won’t have any ads showing up in the corner (you’re welcome for the Lifehack). As I referred to, I play this on my tablet and a game like this works better on a larger screen for sure. The game has a lot of levels to smash your way through. Each level has a different set of bricks that are colorful and are arranged in a different pattern to break.

Simple Simple

 

Some of these games are very challenging to control your paddle to keep the ball in play, but I found this one was very easy to move and to keep the ball bouncing. The object of the game is to clear all the bricks in a level without losing your ball. As you hit the bricks some bonus bricks can fall which give you some extra help to beat the level. Some bonus bricks make your paddle longer, while some make it shorter. Others give you bullets and there are some that reward you with an extra ball and put additional balls in play as well!

 

Give it a shot and break down that wall!
