Our Expert Score
Brick Out is a modern, high-intensity evolution of the classic Arkanoid formula. It moves away from the slow pacing of retro brick-breakers in favor of a 'multi-ball' mayhem approach. The game focuses on aiming your shots to clear the board as fast as possible, often with dozens of balls bouncing around the screen simultaneously.
The power-up system is the star here; getting the 'Fireball' or the 'Laser' creates a very satisfying destruction loop. It’s a great 'flow state' game where you can just zone out and enjoy the physics. The levels get quite complex with moving bricks and shields, but the generous power-ups usually keep the frustration low. It’s vibrant, loud, and incredibly addictive for anyone who enjoys physics-based destruction.
Features
Over 1,000 challenging levels
Spectacular multi-ball power-ups

Tips & Walkthrough
Aim for the corners! If you can get your ball behind the main wall of bricks, it will bounce rapidly between the top of the screen and the bricks, clearing them much faster than hitting them from the bottom.
Gameplays
Try to pick up the 'Double Ball' and 'Fire' power-ups at the same time. This creates a screen-clearing effect that is essential for levels with reinforced bricks.

Q&A
Bricks with numbers require multiple hits. Silver bricks are indestructible and must be worked around, while Gold bricks contain rare power-ups.
Ratings & Reviews
Lackluster.
Sat Jun 19 2021 cmsxxIgnore the star rating. This game is decent, don’t get me wrong. I would give it a 3 star rating. The amount of ads in this game compared to the quality of it is poor. There’s two ads in between every level, and when you’re finishing levels quickly, you’re watching more ads than you’re playing games. And I understand this is how people are being paid to create this, is through ads. But, the game just isn’t good enough to understandably have THIS many ads. It’s decent, but the graphics and things just aren’t top notch. There has to be other means of income for these creators whether that’s a membership or better deals to purchase power-ups. Or, better the app. Make it worth while, or worth purchasing an ad free version. Right now, the app isn’t good enough for me to want to purchase anything, when I can simply download a better version of this popular game, and play with less ads and better quality.
update:(
Wed Dec 24 2025 doglover0905This has been my go to game for years. It had a ton of ads but I over looked that because I enjoyed the game so much. I played it almost everyday for years. It was tricky, entertaining, fun, and made you think. I just recently updated the app and it is safe to say i am completely unhappy with it. The level lengths, difficulty, and new look and feel for the game are all wrong. This game used to be challenging and I would sometimes spend days on the same level. Now, I don’t even have to think twice about if I’m going to get it on the first try. After three turns I am already at the end of the level??? Where is the fun in that? No one wants to play a game of this kind just for it to be a shoo-in for winning. We want a challenge. The look and feel for the game is completely off aswell. The classic and basic look is x10 better than whatever the look is now. The balls move too fast. EVERYTHING moves too fast. It’s just not good. I would hate to turn from this game but I really don’t feel like I have a choice. It turned into a comfort thing for me. I would play it when I was stressed and now that’s gone. No one wants to play a game that’s so easy that it’s kind of irritating. Everyone would prefer if the original version of the game came back. It is not challenging anymore. It is not calming. It is nothing how it used to be. It is just not fun anymore. Please take this review into consideration, and bring back the original version of the game. It is SO much better than this new update in every aspect. Thank you for your time!
Great game with some design flaws
Sun May 21 2023 bobbymariejamez5589This is a very enjoyable game. I did pay to go ad free early on so I can’t speak to the experience of playing with ads. I strongly suggest going ad free it’s very cheap (can’t remember how much - it was a while ago) and once you do, no more ads. It is well worth it. You finish a level it’s onto the next with no waiting or watching ads. But the game is fun to play, addictive, can be frustrating in a good way, when you just can’t get through a level but, oh the feeling of accomplishment when you do. The levels are challenging and often you have to really figure out how to aim your shots to get there. Bonuses are available if needed, and you can buy them if that’s the kind of thing you do - I don’t. This is a go to game for me. Always there to jump into and take a shot at a level if you have some free time. The only problem I have with it is the design. Specifically, the layout of the bonus buttons. The Hammer and Ball Split bonus buttons sit on the lower left and right just under the board. Often when playing, you want to pull the trigger all the way down to release your shot as laterally as you can. When you do, it is VERY easy to accidentally hit one of these bonus buttons. And (not if but) when you accidentally hit one of them, that’s it you’ve engaged the bonus. And most times that means you’ve spent 100 diamonds without wanting to. VERY frustrating. This game desperately needs a pop up asking if you really want to use the bonus, as happens in most games. I’ve intentionally used the Hammer bonus maybe 4 times. I’ve unintentionally used it, and wasted diamonds, about 30 times. It’s maddening!! Please fix this!!! Otherwise this would be a five star game. Overall, a great game, strongly recommend it, with one major design issue.
Ads that can’t be closed = delete
Fri May 12 2023 Delaware JakeThis game is unplayable because of the 75% of the time you spend trying to close ads. This is a true shame, because the game is fun. I am OK with an ad displaying between levels. I get it; nothing is free. But with this game you have to opt out of up to 5 screens to return to play. First you get the usual page, or two 😡, that gives a delay before displaying the X in a random corner; then you get a screen with the countdown X that makes you wait 5 seconds; then you get a screen that will not display the X until you launch the App store, which must be closed; then—if the gaming Gods are smiling—you get a final ad screen that you can close and play the level. Then, adding insult to injury, the first game-level screen is often a screen prompting you to cash in bonuses or purchase them, which has to be closed to actually get to the game. Give me a break! Again, I am OK with an ad. In fact, many of the games I’ve downloaded have been thru an interesting ad. But after I decline that first solicitation, what makes them think my mind will change if they show me 4 more ads for the same freakin’ game? The worst offenders are for Royal Match and Gardenscapes. Is there anyone who wants these ubiquitous games that hasn’t already downloaded them? Deleted. 😢
Fun game, but….
Fri Jan 03 2025 TehRuralJurorTwo big issues. First is the ads. I’m glad they’re short, usually manageable to deal with, especially when looking at previous reviews where it sounds like they used to be much worse. But, it’s still incredibly annoying how much they pop up, even after having just watched one. I’ll watch one in between levels, but if I switch apps real quick, or let my phone lock (even accidentally), it throws another ad up, even while in the middle of playing a level. Also, the price of disabling ads is, frankly, far too high Second big issue, is the targeting line. It is incredibly frustrating at times because it is not entirely accurate to where I’m aiming. I could be aiming at a certain block, that might be cutting it close to another block, but the targeting line shows a clear path to the one I’m aiming at. But when I fire, it hits the other block, completely ruining the shot that I was shown to be able to make because it seems that the path the targeting line is showing, and the path the balls actually take are two different paths. It’s an incredibly frustrating mechanic (or bug?) in an otherwise actually pretty fun game
Never do weekend mission!
Sun Oct 24 2021 SwutThis game is very addictive, and I have enjoyed it. The only reason I’m not giving it a five star is because of the weekend missions. We can missions are currently trendy with video games, but this one misses the point. The weekend missions consist of three levels that you have to get through to get bonuses. Unfortunately some sadistic programmer set it up where if you fail on the second or third mission, you have to go back and redo the first or the first and second. This makes the missions almost impossible because you have to get the second and third right on your first try after passing the first. In addition, the weekend levels are not easy, so it becomes nearly impossible. This makes what would otherwise be a fun challenge so frustrating that itge game itself is not enjoyable. There is a secret “bug”/“cheat”That lets insiders definitions without always going back to the first level. I have no idea why they would ever program the cheat in, unless you knew the weekend missions are so unplayable hard that the programmers cannot test them.
Stole from me.
Wed Mar 01 2023 mike.dNow updated with theft feature! It actually steals from you! Paid to get the pop up ads between levels removed. Totally worked. Awesome! Yay. Restored my iPad as standard maintenance, reinstalled the app, restored my purchase from the shop. It stated that I may restore my “no ads” purchase; to do so tap okay. I tapped okay, gear turned momentarily, I still have ads between levels. This ap keeps getting worse. I want my two dollars! Funny. The developer response completely ignores my concerns stated and repeats what I said in the review as an excuse for the adds being placed over the replay button to unwittingly initiate a purchase. Makes them look bad. Another response, another edit: This game is still dishonest until the booster sale popups aren’t right over the “play/replay” button. When the obvious attempt to force a sale is no longer there and the booster offers pop up NOT over the replay/play button at all will ONE issue be resolved. Original review: The game itself is fun. I payed the few bucks to get rid of ads but I still have to watch them to get boosters, etc. - not sure for what I paid - but this behavior is typical of these games and not a deal breaker. The primary problem is that the consistent onslaught of attempted booster sales etc pretty much tempers the joy of playing. To make it worse the solicitations pop up right over the place of the “play/replay” button so one will inadvertently initiate a purchase. Thankfully my finger isn’t over the Touch ID but it slows down one’s experience with the game and feels dishonest. I’d love to recommend the game to others but until the UI is improved and the solicitations presented in a less intrusive manner I have to say it’s just meh. Low joy, high meh.
Ads, purchases and placements
Sat Sep 12 2020 I'm the bunnyIt’s a fun game, time killer. Can take it or leave it. I just want a game I can play in downtime. Not a lot of fuss or managing this and that. But people are right. The ads come up a lot...if you get a phone call or low battery or want to check something on your phone in the middle of a game. You have to start all over. Then when you want to hit PLAY you end up hitting the stupid BUY button that pops up over the play button and you wait until it goes thru to the store and to cancel. Annoying. And it’s so easy to hit buy when you don’t want to. Credit cards are attached to the store. It’d be so easy for a kid or anyone to accidentally buy something. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve hit BUY. I would never buy any thing on this game to help me beat levels. It’s not that kind of game. Put the SHOP away and let ppl buy if they want and steer clear if they don’t. The app would be worth it if you did that and kept the ads to a minimum. Otherwise, there’s other games like fun run candy crush and cookies whatever that don’t have the annoying pops ups all the time.
