About this game

A classic arcade-style game where the player controls a paddle that moves horizontally at the bottom of the screen. The objective is to bounce a ball to break bricks or blocks arranged at the top of the screen. Here's a description of how the game works:

Objective: The player must destroy all the bricks by hitting them with a bouncing ball. When a brick is hit by the ball, it breaks, and the player earns points.

Gameplay:
The screen is filled with an arrangement of bricks, and the player has a paddle at the bottom of the screen.
The player can move the paddle left or right to catch the bouncing ball.
The ball continuously bounces off the walls, bricks, and paddle. When the ball hits a brick, that brick disappears.
The player must prevent the ball from falling off the screen. If the ball goes past the paddle, the player loses a life.

Levels: The game consists of multiple levels, each with more challenging arrangements of bricks or different patterns. As the player progresses, the game may introduce new types of bricks, such as ones that take multiple hits to break, or power-ups like faster balls or wider paddles.

Power-ups: Power-ups may randomly drop from broken bricks. These can grant the player special abilities, such as:
Multiball: Spawns additional balls.
Wider Paddle: Makes the paddle larger for easier ball control.
Laser: Allows the paddle to shoot and destroy bricks directly.

Winning and Losing:
The game is won by breaking all the bricks in the level.
The game is lost if the player loses all their lives (typically 3 lives per game).

Controls: Typically, the player uses arrow keys or mouse movements to control the paddle's movement.

A brick-breaking game is easy to pick up, but the difficulty increases as the player progresses through levels with faster-moving balls and more complex brick patterns.
