Frequently asked questions
What is Brickstorm?
A free browser roguelite that fuses brick-breaker physics with Vampire-Survivors-style upgrade builds. Catch balls, smash waves of neon bricks, and pick from three random upgrades each level.
How do upgrades work?
Destroyed bricks drop XP orbs that auto-attract to your paddle. Fill the XP bar and the game pauses, offering three random upgrades — multiball, damage, speed, pierce or wider paddle — that stack for the rest of the run.
Can I play Brickstorm on mobile?
Yes. Touch-drag to move the paddle, fully responsive canvas, no download or sign-up needed. Keyboard (arrow keys / AD) and mouse also supported on desktop.
What's the best upgrade strategy?
Most players take Multiball first (each ball deals full damage), then Damage or Pierce. Keep your combo alive by hitting brick clusters quickly — the multiplier caps at 3×.
