Bricks with friends!

Bricks with friends! flips the classic single-player brick-breaking formula into a lively group experience. Instead of clearing levels alone, you and your buddies tackle shared walls of bricks that crumble and shift with every hit. The core loop is simple: launch your projectiles, break through the layers, and set off huge chain reactions that wipe out swaths of blocks at once. As you progress, special bricks appear that grant temporary boosts—like wider paddles, faster balls, or explosive blasts—which can turn the tide when the compact layers get tough. The real charm comes from the coordination required. You'll need to plan your shots, time your launches, and call out target bricks to avoid overlapping efforts or missing crucial gaps. The multiplayer arcade mode keeps the tension high with a shared score multiplier that grows as you clear bricks in rapid succession. It's a game that tests both your reflexes and your ability to sync with friends, and it's perfect for a quick session or an extended playthrough. Every level feels fresh, and the shared victories (or frustrating near-misses) make for memorable gaming moments.

What is Bricks with friends!

Ready to break bricks with a buddy or two? This cooperative arcade challenge turns teamwork into a satisfying cascade of smashing fun.

How to Play

Aim and launch your ball by moving your paddle, then coordinate with friends to chip away at the brick wall. Clear all blocks to advance, while sharing power-ups and chain reactions across the group.

Tips for Playing

  • Call out your target before each launch so nobody wastes a shot.
  • Save explosive bricks for tight clusters to trigger massive chain reactions.
  • Keep your paddle under the ball's path to control the rebound angle.
  • Watch for power-up bricks that drop together—grab them in sequence.
  • When the wall thins, focus on the edges first to open bigger gaps.
