Brickrally

The paddle does not mirror. It aims.

Where the ball lands on the paddle decides the angle it leaves at — the centre sends it straight, the edges send it sharp. That one rule turns a rally from something you chase into a sequence of shots you choose. It is the only thing this game asks you to learn.

HOW IT PLAYS
- Drag anywhere to move the paddle, release to serve
- Portrait, one hand
- Catch the drops that fall from broken bricks

WHAT IS IN IT
- 28 hand-made stages. Beat them and the pack laps, one notch tougher each time
- Five difficulty presets (Beginner / Easy / Normal / Hard / Expert) that really differ: ball speed, lives and brick toughness all change
- Four power-ups — Multiball, Wide, Slow and Bonus
- Checkpoints every four stages, unlocked by reaching them
- A global leaderboard through Game Center
- A score table for every difficulty, each split in two: a run that used an assist — a continue, a checkpoint start or a bought power-up — is ranked apart from an unassisted one, because if an assisted run could top the list the number would stop measuring how well you played

LIVES AND COINS, PLAINLY
- You hold up to 5 lives. One comes back every 15 minutes, whether the app is open or not
- Coins buy a life, a full refill, a continue, a spare ball, or a power-up carried into your next run
- Clearing a stage pays 25 coins, up to 150 a day. The daily bonus adds 100 to 500, growing with your streak
- Coin packs are an optional in-app purchase, for when you would rather not wait

NO ADS, NO TRACKING
No advertising, no analytics, no tracking, no account and no sign-in. Nothing about you is collected. Purchases and the leaderboard go through Apple; the game itself never learns who you are.

READABLE AND REACHABLE
- Brick toughness is shown by pips as well as colour, because roughly one man in twelve cannot tell the green from the yellow
- The four drops each have their own silhouette, not just their own hue
- Text scales with your system setting
- Reduce Motion turns off screen shake and full-screen flashes
- Every control has a VoiceOver label
