ABOUT BREAKOUT
In 1976, Atari's Nolan Bushnell wanted a single-player version of Pong — instead of two players batting a ball back and forth, one player would hit it against a wall. That's how Breakout was born. Even more interesting: the original hardware prototype was built by Steve Jobs and his friend Steve Wozniak, before Apple was even founded. Wozniak later took everything he learned building Breakout — color graphics, game controller ports — and packed it all into the Apple II, directly shaping the future of personal computing.
In 1986, Taito built on this foundation with Arkanoid, adding power-ups and special bricks that launched the golden age of the genre.
Brickout takes this 50-year-old classic and brings it to your browser — turning the webpage you're reading into the level. Every site has a different text layout, so every session has a different brick arrangement — your reading list is your infinite supply of levels.
