Atari Breakout
4.3 / 5(19,065 Votes)Instructions
Tap on the arrows to select one of four modes or select random to get a random mode. When you're in the game, tap the on-screen arrows to move the platforms to bounce the balls and break the blocks.
Atari Breakout Modes
You can select from 4 different modes in Atari Breakout. Each of them has a unique trait that makes it fun to play. The modes are as follows:
One ball
Standard Breakout is where you have to bounce one ball against the blocks and try not to lose the ball. This is the classic mode of Atari Breakout that you've probably played before.
Two ball
Standard Breakout, but you have to bounce TWO balls at once. Twice as much to think about.
Cavity
Use one ball to break out two balls stuck in the blocks. Unleash these balls to cause pure havoc on the map.
Progressive
After every few seconds, a new row of blocks will be added. Try to clear out all the blocks as fast as you can before they reach the bottom!
Atari Breakout Strategies
The longer you play Atari Breakout, the faster the pace will get. This means that it gets continually more difficult the further you get in the game. Stay focused and keep your cool and you will be fine though!
One of the most common strategies of Atari Breakout is to focus on one side of the map at the beginning of the game. If you destroy all of the blocks on that side, then you should be able to flank around and get behind the blocks. This will result in some catastrophic damage and definitely help you get past the round.
Another important strategy is to focus on where the ball is hitting the paddle. This will have an impact on the direction that the ball goes toward. If you want to aim for the middle of the paddle at the beginning of the game, that is okay. However, as you continue to get more comfortable with Atari Breakout, start experimenting with hitting different areas of the paddle.

When was Atari Breakout released?
Atari Breakout was released in 1976. It was at least partially inspired by another game on our site, Atari Pong. It is a surprise to most people that the game was designed by Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple. Along with this, Nolan Bushnell and Steve Bristow also had key parts in the release of Atari Breakout.
Can you still play Atari Breakout?
Yes! As of 2022, Atari Breakout is completely playable here at Coolmath Games, as well as a few other classic Atari Games such as Pong, Asteroids, and Missile Command.
How many points is each round of Atari Breakout worth?
In each round of the classic single mode, players earn 468 points for completing it. This keeps on going as you go from round to round. A good goal for beginners is to get through 5 rounds without getting knocked out, which would add up to 2,340 points.
