Arkanoid

The game is played on a single-screen vertical playfield. You move the Vaus paddle ship left and right at the bottom of the screen to bounce a ball upward and destroy every brick on the stage. Power-ups drop from broken blocks, including paddle extension, multiball, lasers, and slower ball speed, while some items can be harmful. Later stages introduce tougher brick arrangements, obstacles, and a boss fight. Losing the ball costs a life, and the game ends when all lives are gone.

Vaus

The player-controlled paddle ship used to bounce the ball and break bricks.

Keep the paddle under the ball’s expected path and prioritize safer power-ups such as longer paddle and slower ball speed. When the ball speed increases, focus on control rather than aggressive chasing. Use angled shots to work into corners and difficult brick clusters. In boss encounters, learn attack timing and maintain steady control instead of forcing risky returns.

Tips and tricks

• Control is more important than speed in the early stages.
• A longer paddle greatly improves survival chances.
• Corner bricks are easier to handle with repeated angled shots.
