Ball and Paddle Arcade

How adept are you with a ball and paddle?

This is a collection of games and minigames that use the same basic mechanics of balls and a paddle. Move your paddle by touching the screen (see Options section below) to hit balls and keep them from dropping to the bottom while completing objectives. The angle a ball bounces off the paddle depends on where it hits. Hitting in the center will make it go up. Hitting on the left or right of the paddle causes the ball to bounce to the left or right with a flatter angle the closer to the edge of the paddle it is hit. You can pause the game at any time with a triple tap. Choosing to restart the game from the pause menu will send you to the first level of the game mode, if the game mode has multiple levels.

Breakout:

Use the ball to break all the blocks! The ball speeds up slightly every time you hit it. Dropping the ball will cause it to respawn with its starting position and speed and cost you a life. Keep playing until there are no more levels or you run out of lives. If you run out of lives, you can restart from the current level for 1000 points (or start from 0 if you don't have enough points) You earn an extra life for every level complete with no drops. You get 100 points for every block broken, lose 10 points for every second passed, and lose 500 points for every life lost, so beat each level as fast as possible without losing any lives to maximize your score! When you record your score, you earn 1000 points for every life you still have left! Go get that high score!

Survival:

Try to survive as long as possible! Starts with one ball and adds another every 10 seconds. Balls do not increase in speed when hit. Earn 100 points for every second survived. Game ends when a ball is dropped.

Options:

Customize your controls and the colors of the paddle, balls, and blocks. On one-to-one controls, move the paddle directly with your finger. On directional controls, touch either side of the screen to make the paddle move in that direction.
