NOTE: This game has only been tested for Mac, so do inform me if there are any issues with the Windows version

A spin-off of Atari's 1976 Breakout

Move the paddle with the mouse and prevent the ball from touching the bottom edge by allowing the ball to bounce on the paddle. A brick will be destroyed if a ball bounces off it. The ball's speed will also increase gradually as time passes (although not too much at a time). While this game may seem easy at first, it can actually be quite difficult as the game proceeds, so don't underestimate it!

Power-ups:

Power-ups will spawn randomly in the space between the paddle and the bricks. If a ball touches a power-up, the power-up will be activated. The activated power-up will reset the timer without removing any of the existing effects. Below is the list of power-ups that will spawn:

Yellow (lightning symbol): Makes the ball faster for 3s
Blue (snowflake symbol): Makes the ball slower for 3s
Red (plus symbol): Adds an additional ball
Black (arrows pointing outwards): Expands the paddle for 3s
White (arrows pointing inwards): Shrinks the paddle for 3s

Gold Brick:

A gold brick will spawn in each level. Breaking a gold brick will spawn a Purple (restart symbol) power-up, which will slowly drop down. To activate the power-up, collect it with the paddle before it hits the bottom edge. Once activated, the ball will be respawned and all other existing balls will be destroyed. However, it will travel at its original speed (without power-ups) upon touching the paddle.

Levels:

Once all the bricks in the level are destroyed, you will proceed to the next level and the bricks will be respawned. With each level, the number of times a brick must be hit to be destroyed increases. (E.g. Bricks in level 1 requires 1 hit to destroy, Bricks in level 2 requires 2 hit to destroy, etc).

Score:

Your score is calculated by the number of times the ball hits the bricks (do not need to destroy). A new highscore is set when your score is higher than your previous highscore
