Brick buster games

Breakout games, or brick buster games are all about hitting or bouncing a ball against your target - which could be bricks, walls, tiles or other parts of buildings - and blasting your way strategically through different levels of a game, all the while stopping the ball from going out of play.

It's a kind of satisfying bat and ball type activity with plenty of action and a story entwined!

Game features

As you play you can win or lose lives, discover power-ups which can either give you extra capabilities or decrease your playing power, and tackle different types of balls rebounding from bricks which may react in all kinds of unexpected ways.

Levels of a game can take on interesting themes or present a variety of challenges, and the movement and display of the bricks will change, testing your ever-growing skills to the limit. It's all about keeping your eye on the ball, reacting quickly, and effectively using the tools at your disposal.

Sounds fun? It sure is - and you can find such action in the following games:

Brick buster games to play

What is it about brick buster games and Egypt?

This exotic setting is very popular for these breakout games. Maybe it's the idea of being trapped eternally in a pyramid. Or the stifling atmosphere of a mummy's tomb. Or the brick-stone-pyramid connection that makes this topic a natural.

Two games with an Egyptian brickbusting theme:

Egyptian Ball
With rich 3D images and an Egyptian themed soundtrack , the stage is set for your fight to find the lost gift of Amun-Ra, defeat the gods, and herald a new era.

Bricks of Egypt 2
Creep your way along dusty old pyramidal corridors, blasting your way to find ancient treasures with the help of the Pharaohs' Seven Eyes! Over 100 levels and three modes of play, as well as rich graphics, this game is a great stress buster as well as brick buster.

Now let's head into space with...

Ricochet: Infinity
Jump straight in to the Galactic Tournament as you whizz off to ricochet around space in this highly entertaining and enthralling action-packed game.

Unlock ships and ranks, and enjoy amazing power-ups, as well as over 200 levels.

Two more favorites:

Fairy Treasure
You can almost guess what this will be about... and yes! You're off on a magical journey to hunt for stolen fairy treasure, now in the hands of evil troll Dronk.

There's gold, a castle, a prince, and parts of a magic scroll to collect, so a story to follow as well as more than a few bricks to bust!

Peggle Deluxe
Peggle's just a fab game, and the Peggle Deluxe version should keep you entertained, with yet more pegs to clear, and further exercising of your Peggle skills as well as a fair amount of help from lady luck!

WTG Brickbusters!

Blast, blast, blast... and breakout!

These games are just super fun.

Not always that easy in some ways either.

Keep your eye on several points of play at once, and develop your skill through various levels.

Recommended for days when you feel as if you're just "not getting much done" :)
