More about this game
Synth Break: Musical Bricks is a neon-infused brick breaker where every collision creates a musical note. Your goal is to clear all six rows of bricks, which correspond to notes in the C major pentatonic scale. You start with three lives and must keep the ball from falling past your paddle. As you break bricks, the ball speeds up slightly, increasing the challenge. The run ends when you clear the board or lose all your lives.
Tips
- Hitting the ball near the edge of your paddle changes its bounce angle, helping you aim for specific bricks.
- The ball speeds up slightly with every brick broken, so stay alert as the board clears.
- Higher rows are worth more points, with the top row awarding 175 points per brick.
