Idle Brick Breaker

Idle Brick Breaker is an idle game take on the Breakout style game. A ball bounces around a playfield populated with bricks, gradually damaging and breaking them until the playfield is cleared.

Unlike most Breakout variants there is no paddle for the player to control – the ball simply passively bounces around without any direct input at all. Breaking bricks rewards the player with money, which can then be spent on upgrades – more balls, new types of balls, or upgrades to the balls' speed or hit power. While the original ball simply bounces around and hits whatever comes in its path, other balls have special qualities, such as causing an explosion when it hits a brick, homing in on the nearest brick after bouncing off a wall or creating temporary child balls. Bricks can also be tapped by the player directly to inflict a small amount of damage, which can be useful for clearing out the last remaining bricks.

Once the playfield is cleared the game proceeds to the next one. Later levels have more complex layouts and introduce bricks of various shapes and sizes, as well as bricks that can withstand much more damage before breaking. There are also special money and gem bricks, which reward the player with extra money or gems when destroyed.

As the upgrades steadily increase in price progress will eventually slow down – at this point the player can "prestige", which restarts the game from the beginning but grants special points to be used for permanent upgrades, making the next run progress faster.
