Speed BrickBreaker

by Pierre

Speed BrickBreaker is a challenge for expert BrickBreaker players who have already beaten the game.

The goal in Speed BrickBreaker is to get the maximum score over a set number of levels. Speed BrickBreaker comes in two flavors: 2-round and 10-round.

  • 2-Round Speed BrickBreaker: The idea is to get the maximum possible score after 2 rounds (twice through 34 levels).
  • 10-Round Speed BrickBreaker: Max score after 10 rounds (ten times through 34 levels).

Please see below for the Speed BrickBreaker high score board. If you’d like your score posted here, please email me (contact …at… brickbreaker guide . com) and I will put it up. This scoreboard is based on the honor system, so a screenshot is not required, but if you send me one I’ll include it.

Ok let’s have a look at something here. There’s a point in this level where the ball is moving fast, and a Multi starts falling. This is almost always a welcome sight, especially in the second pass through 34 levels, and here’s why. The Multi causes 4 balls to be bouncing around the board, and remember that the ball transitions from fast to slow after a certain number of bounces. The more balls bouncing around, the sooner the ball with slow down. Watch for it in the video — it’s not long after I get the Multi that the ball speed slows down, making it much easier to finish off the level safely. This is why the Multi is the second-most important capsule in the game, after the Life.
