Introduce
Break Thru is a classic arcade game in the brick-breaking genre. Players control a ball, usually using a paddle at the bottom of the screen, to shoot the ball upward and break bricks arranged in various patterns. Each broken brick yields a different score, depending on its color and position. Some bricks may contain power-ups, such as increased ball speed, paddle size enhancements, or extra balls. The goal is to break all the bricks in a level to proceed to the next. The difficulty increases with each level, featuring more bricks, complex arrangements, and faster ball speeds. The game typically has a limited number of lives; when they run out, the game ends. The highest score is recorded, and players can attempt to break their own records. Some versions of Break Thru may include additional features such as different ball types with special abilities, bricks with varying durability, or bonus levels for collecting extra points.
