Try launching the ball one click to the left. Hopefully it will knock out the exposed capsule in the left-most column of bricks. If that doesn’t work, then experiment with launching the ball from the default position (zero clicks).

Launch the ball one click to the right. This should destroy one of the bricks in the bottom-right cluster. Then hit the descending ball with the right side of your paddle, sending it up the right wall. Hopefully you will dislodge a capsule.

When you get the opportunity, destroy the remaining bricks in the bottom-right cluster to give yourself a clear area to shoot into. Stay conservative as you clear out the level.

Start the ball two clicks to the left. Your opening shot should ricochet off the left wall, then the top wall, and dislodge the exposed capsule on the upper left. Stay conservative as you clear out the level.

Try launching the ball one click to the left, which should clear out one of the low-hanging bricks from the bottom row and give you some breathing room. As the ball comes back, hit it with the left side of your paddle to send it up the left well.

Stay conservative. Strike the ball in the center of your paddle whenever possible, and methodically destroy all the bricks.

A Laser is very helpful on this level, and in fact all the early levels. If you grab one, use it to destroy all the bricks, starting with the lowest-hanging ones. Don’t bother grabbing other capsules unless you come across a Life. Remember to fire your Laser only when the ball is rising, so you don’t lose a life being over-eager firing bullets.
