This early Breakout game has 2 rows of bricks and two rows of different colors. You get 3 tries or 5 tries (through dipswitch setting) by knocking down as many bricks down as possible by deflecting or rebounding against the wall of the sledge hammer. Points are 1 point for yellow, 3 for the green, 7 for red. To make the game more challenging, the speed of the game increases after 4 hits and again at 12 hits and to the highest speeds in orange and red rows. The hammer decreases by half the size when the red row is broken through.
