Brick Breaker Beam Screensaver
The Brick Breaker Beam screensaver is a self-playing, attract-mode tribute to the classic brick-breaking arcade genre. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Brick Breaker Beam screensaver works
A self-tracking paddle follows the ball, bouncing it up into rows of colorful bricks.
Each hit clears a brick and adds a satisfying ricochet, exactly like the arcade original's core loop.
Once a full wall clears, a fresh wall of bricks descends for the next round.
All art and names here are original, in the spirit of the genre rather than a copy of any one game.
A worked example
The ball ricochets off the paddle at a sharp angle, clearing three bricks in a single diagonal pass before bouncing back down.
