Sky Ball

Sky Ball was one of those straightforward Flash games you'd find in the late 2000s. It didn't try to be more than it was, a solid take on the block-breaking formula that ran right in your browser.

You control a paddle at the bottom of the screen, moving it side to side to bounce a ball upward. Your goal is to clear each screen of bricks. Some bricks take multiple hits to break, and you can collect power-ups that fall when certain bricks are destroyed. These might give you a wider paddle, extra balls, or a laser to shoot bricks directly. The game starts simply but the pace picks up as the layouts get more complex and the ball speeds up. It feels like a test of steady rhythm and quick reflexes.
