Brick Beasts

Use the ball to break bricks and make room for three or more bricks of the same color to match. Matching four or more bricks creates bombs that you can use to destroy even more bricks. Watch out for the beasts! Hitting them might result in some unintended consequences...

Keyboard Controls:

• Up/Down (or W/S) - Move the paddle.
• Space - Launch the ball.
• R - Return the ball to the paddle (in case it gets stuck).
• Q - End the game.
• O - Game options.

PlayStation Controller Controls:

• Left Analog Stick: Move the paddle.
• X - Launch the ball.
• O - Return the ball to the paddle (in case it gets stuck).

Other controllers probably also work, but we haven't tested them. For those familiar with Unity: We use Fire1 to launch the ball and Fire2 to return the ball.
