Code Breaker

Code Breaker is a brick-breaker game framed as a trial system for breaking wireless security codes. You play through locations in one of three systems, each with its own mechanics, and choose from three difficulty options. Lives are removed: your score represents the strength of your connection, and a low score disconnects you.

Three systems

• Code Breaker: Shoot while playing to speed up the game or attempt trick shots. Power-up drops provide weapons, including a shotgun, rapid-fire, laser and bomb; some drops are unsafe.
• Classic: Play a mostly traditional brick-breaker mode. The paddle cannot fire unless you find the right power-up. Destroying bricks can produce random drops, including an extra ball, bonus damage, an explosive ball, a bigger paddle, a vortex or a teleportation ball.
• SYSTEM UNKNOWN: The system is unrecognized and corrupted.

Difficulty options

• Normal: Play with one paddle and one pit.
• Hard: The ceiling is removed, and you must deal with two paddles.
• Impossible: The walls are removed, so the ball can fall out of any corner of the screen.

Scores and rewards

Because lives are removed, the game uses your score to represent connection strength. If it falls too low, the system disconnects, and high scores are harder to achieve. Completing minor feats earns rewards that unlock color options and new block types to experiment with.
