paddle and a ball. To move the paddle, roll the

During the game, the following capsules fall from the
bricks that you destroy:
• Long makes the paddle longer.

• Gun enables you to shoot three bullets at the
bricks. A bullet can destroy unbreakable bricks.
• Laser enables you to shoot unlimited laser beams
at the bricks.
• Multi puts four balls in play.
• Catch enables you to catch and hold the ball.
• Flip changes the direction of the paddle.
• Wrap enables you to move the paddle beyond the
edge of the screen.
• Bomb destroys the next brick that you hit and
damages nearby bricks.
• Life gives you an additional life.
