About Breakout Lite

The player controls a paddle at the bottom of the screen and keeps the ball in play. With precise positioning, the ball is redirected into the field to destroy the rows of bricks above.

The player receives points for every destroyed brick. Once all bricks have been removed, the round is successfully completed.
