HOW TO PLAY

In this game, you will use your mouse or your gamepad (require a dual stick) to move bricks towards the balls.

To do that, just point the curser on a brick, hold down the button and move it to a direction. You can push more than one brick at a time to a direction (except on a solid brick).

Its pretty simple as the basic gameplay. But there is variations of the bricks you should know about it.

This game is played in windowered mode. But you can invoke fullscreen by using a command line command. See last page.
