FAQ Brick Arena
Why did my HP drop when I didn't miss?
Your opponent's brick points: every 100 take 6 HP, at most 50 per tick. Goals show as −50 near the paddle that missed.
Do extra balls cost HP?
No; white-ringed balls just vanish at a goal line. Each purple brick adds two, 25° either side of the ball that broke it, with up to eight in play.
What happens when time runs out?
After 3:00 the player with more HP wins and equal HP is a draw, as is both players reaching 0 in the same tick. The clock turns red for the last 30 seconds.
Do the lanes I open stay open?
No. Every 20 seconds each empty cell has a 35% chance of a new random brick, skipping cells a ball is in, and refills are not mirrored, so the two sides drift apart.
How hard are the three stars?
A 4-step chain means four explosions in a row. In bot tests of a Normal-level stand-in against the Normal AI, the win, 10-goal and chain stars came 37%, 13% and 40% of the time. Stars are saved on this device, separately for each mode and level.
