Move your pointer (or ← →) to slide the paddle; the ball's angle comes from where it meets the paddle. Tap, click, or Space to serve. Shatter every energy brick to bring the wall down — the next wall comes hotter. Catch falling capsules for a wider paddle, a slower ball, or a 3-way split. Three lives. M mutes, R restarts.
How to play Nova Break
Move your pointer, or the ← → arrows, to slide the paddle. Where the ball meets the paddle sets its bounce angle — hit it near an edge for a sharp cut, dead-centre for a steep return. Tap, click, or press Space to serve. Shatter every energy brick to bring the wall down.
Each cleared wall is replaced by a hotter one, so the game loops onward as long as you keep the ball alive. Catch falling capsules for a wider paddle, a slower ball, or a three-way split. You have three lives; lose the last ball and the run ends.
Tips & strategy
- Steer with the paddle offset — the contact point, not the paddle's speed, decides the angle.
- Grab the slow-ball capsule when a wall gets frantic; it buys reaction time.
- The split capsule triples your clearing rate — chase it on dense walls.
- Keep the ball working one side to grind a column open, then let it rip across the top.
