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 the board of bricks, which are arranged to play the C major pentatonic scale when hit. You start with 3 lives and must drag the paddle to keep the ball in play. The ball speeds up slightly with each brick broken, and the run ends when you lose all your lives or clear the board.
Tips
- Hit the ball with the edge of the paddle to change its angle and aim for specific bricks.
- The ball speeds up slightly with every brick broken, so be prepared for faster returns.
- Focus on clearing the bottom rows first to create a path to the higher-scoring top rows.
Questions
How many lives do I get?

How is the score calculated?

What happens when I clear all the bricks?
When you break every brick on the board, you win the game and a success chord plays.
