Brick Breaker Unicorn
Brick Breaker Unicorn is a paddle-and-ball brick breaker with a paddle pulled by unicorns and bricks in rainbow colours. Underneath the dressing it is the plain version of the game: one ball, twenty levels, a clock on each of them, and a stream of bonuses falling from the wreckage that you have to decide whether to run under.
How to play Brick Breaker Unicorn
- Guide the paddle left and right, with the mouse on desktop or a finger on mobile, to meet the ball as it comes down.
- Launch the ball upward, then keep bouncing it off the paddle so it never slips past you at the bottom.
- Break the blocks by driving the ball into them. The sturdier ones take a few knocks, but the iron blocks never break at all and stay put as walls to bounce off.
- Ten kinds of bonus fall from broken blocks: a fireball, a rainbow ball, an extra ball, a cannon, a barrier, an extra life, extra score, extra time, a wider paddle, and a narrower one.
- Clear every breakable block to finish the level. Running out of time ends it instead, and there are 20 levels in all.
Tips
- Catch the ball off the end of the paddle rather than the middle. The steeper angle is the only way to reach the blocks tucked behind an iron block in a corner.
- Look at a bonus before you move under it. Nine of the ten help you, and the tenth narrows your paddle, which is the last thing you want on a level you were about to finish.
- The fireball and the rainbow ball cut straight through blocks instead of bouncing off the first one they meet. Hold them for the thickest cluster on the board.
- Never let an extra-ball bonus drop past you. A second ball roughly halves how long the level takes, and the clock is a real one.
