Smash bricks with a bouncing ball! Collect power-ups and clear all levels.
Arkanoid is the legendary brick-breaking arcade game originally released by Taito in 1986. Control a paddle (the Vaus spacecraft) at the bottom of the screen to bounce a ball upward and destroy layers of colored bricks. Power-ups drop from broken bricks, granting abilities like laser cannons, expanded paddles, multi-ball, and slow motion. Each level introduces new brick arrangements and patterns that demand quick reflexes and strategic power-up management. Some bricks take multiple hits to break, and certain formations create tricky angles that require precise paddle positioning. The game builds in difficulty as you progress through increasingly complex stages. Arkanoid elevated the simple Breakout formula into a full-featured arcade experience with personality and depth. Master the angles, collect the right power-ups, and clear every brick to advance through all the levels.
