Block Bounce

You control a paddle, or sometimes a block, at the bottom of the screen with your mouse. The goal is to keep a bouncing ball from falling off the bottom by moving your paddle to deflect it upward. The ball bounces off the walls, your paddle, and often a grid of colored blocks at the top of the screen. Hitting those blocks usually makes them disappear, and clearing them all is the main objective. The game starts calmly, but the ball speeds up as you progress, demanding sharper reflexes. The feeling is one of focused, rhythmic control, a test of your timing as you try to keep the ball in play just a little longer.
