How to play Ricochet
Keep the ball in play as it ricochets faster and faster.
Modes
One mode with levels. You have three lives, and each level launches the ball faster than the last.
Controls
Move the paddle with the mouse, or use the left and right arrows or A and D. On a touch screen a stick appears in the bottom corner so your thumb does not cover the ball. Space or Enter starts a game.
Scoring
Every brick hit scores 10 points, and a brick that breaks scores 15 more. From level two a few bricks are missing at random, and from level three the top row takes two hits.
Playing it well
Stay near the centre of the paddle area and let the ball come to you; chasing it makes you late. Read its angle off the first bounce and move to where it will land, not to where it is.
The ball speeds up with each level, so the early levels are the place to build a score. If the ball is behind the bricks, leave it: it will clear several for you before it comes back.
Tips
- Stay central.
- Do not chase the ball, predict where it will land.
About this game
Ricochet is the touch-friendly breakout game. The corner stick exists because a thumb dragging the paddle hides the ball on a phone.
Playtime only counts while you are actively playing: a hidden or idle tab earns nothing.
