Breakout is a Science Fiction-themed arcade game, offering both single-player and multi-player options. The goal is to demolish a multi-layered wall of bricks at the screen's top using a bouncing ball controlled by a horizontally movable paddle at the bottom. Missing the ball with the paddle leads to losing balls, with the game ending after five misses.
