About Atari BreakoutAtari Breakout is a retro arcade game produced in 1976, influenced by the success of the groundbreaking 1972 game, Pong. Atari Breakout was built by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, with the concept designed by Nolan Bushnell and Steve Bristow.
Many versions of Breakout have appeared since the original game. After its initial arcade release, Breakout was ported to the Atari 2600 with updated visuals and gameplay in 1978. The original iPod even had Breakout installed as an Easter egg that could be accessed by holding down the center button for a few seconds.
Today, you can play Atari Breakout in your web browser with updated graphics, sounds, and power-ups. This keeps the game fresh for new players, while inspiring fond memories of the past to those who played the original game.
Game TipsThe mechanics of Breakout are simple, so there's really only a few things you can do to play your best:
Keep your eye on the ball
Get lined up for the next shot
Collect power-ups to boost your advantage
If you have a power-up you want to keep, avoid the other power-ups
Game FeaturesAtari Breakout has a number of features to keep you engaged. One of those is power-ups. There are power-ups in the game that when collected, either:
Increase the number of balls to 3
Increase the size of your paddle
Make the ball “heavy” so it smashes through all the blocks
Make your paddle fire lasers
These power-ups are active for a certain amount of time. If you collect a power-up while another is active, you will lose that power-up to gain the new one. So, if you're doing well with the power-up you're using, avoid the others!
