Zombie Brick Breaker: how to play, rules & tips

Play Zombie Brick Breaker free online: steer a paddle, bounce the ball and smash a wall of zombie bricks across 10 hand-built levels. Hype Breaker is a classic brick breaker with no power-ups and no luck, only your aim.

How to play Zombie Brick Breaker

Move the paddle by dragging, with the arrow keys or A and D, or with the on-screen arrow buttons. The ball sits on your paddle until you launch it with a tap, the Space bar or the Launch button. It bounces off the side walls and the top of the screen.

Break every brick to clear the level, then tap Next wall for the next one. You get 3 lives for the whole run. When the ball gets past your paddle you lose one and the ball is served again from the paddle. Lose the last life and the run is over; Play again starts you back at level 1.

Bricks, levels and scoring

There are two kinds of zombie brick. Walkers break in one hit. Brutes are darker and take two hits. The 10 wall layouts are fixed, so each level looks the same every time you play. They grow from two rows on level 1 to a six-row fortress of brutes on level 10, and the ball gets a little faster each level.

Where the ball hits the paddle decides where it goes. Near the center it goes up steeply, though never perfectly straight; near the edges it leaves at a sharp angle. A walker is worth 10 points, a brute 30, and clearing a level adds a bonus of 120 times the level number. Your best score banks Neons, and losing a ball never takes them back.

Zombie Brick Breaker tips

Steer with the paddle edges. Catch the ball off-center on purpose to send it toward the bricks you need.
Open a gap in the wall and get the ball above it. It will bounce between the top wall and the bricks and break several on its own.
Clear the brutes early. They need two hits, so leaving them for last costs you extra trips.
Move under the ball early instead of lunging at the last moment. It gets faster on later levels.
Your lives carry over between levels, so play safe on the early walls and save them for the brute-heavy ones.
