HTML5-Breakout

About

Breakout is a 1976 arcade game developed and published by Atari (released by Namco in Japan), in which the player bounces a ball off a paddle to destroy rows of bricks lining the top of the screen. HTML5-Breakout is a browser-based HTML5 implementation of Breakout with a welcome menu scene and a separate gameplay scene, supporting one-player or two-player (turn-based) games.

How it differs from the original

Adds a two-player, turn-based mode not present in the original single-player arcade game; each player gets three balls per game, with the ball speeding up after certain brick and paddle hits.

Getting started

Open the game in a browser and choose one- or two-player mode from the main menu to begin a match; each round ends when the ball reaches the bottom of the screen or all bricks in a round are cleared.

Trivia

The game reproduces a hidden extra level similar to one found in the original Breakout, documented in the project's own source code comments.
