Idle Brick Smasher 

Idle Brick Smasher is a new idle/incremental game inspired by classics like Breakout and Idle Brick Breaker, aiming to smash bricks as quickly as possible. It features both active and passive playstyles with procedurally generated levels.

This game is in active development (Dec 2024), currently testing Phase 1 (early game), where the goal is to smash bricks to level up, earn upgrade points, and enhance your paddle and/or balls.

Future phases will introduce more features and add depth to the game. Join our Discord server to share feedback and be part of the community.

How To Play

Controls

Use WASD or ARROW keys to move the paddle and the MOUSE to navigate menus and buy upgrades.

Bricks

New bricks spawn every few seconds, indicated by the progress bar at the top moving from right to left, pushing old bricks down a row. Each new row has higher health.

Upgrades

Earn upgrade points (UP) by leveling up or smashing special bricks, then use them to upgrade your paddle or balls in the Upgrades menu at the bottom.

Balls

Balls passively smash bricks, with new ones unlocking at certain levels. Hitting a ball with your paddle grants Active Hits, a limited boost shown by a tail, ending when hits run out or the ball reaches the bottom of the screen.

Paddle

The paddle actively smashes bricks by controlling and boosting balls and firing a weapon when charged. If left idle, it will disable itself after a few seconds.

Offline progress

Offline progress is currently not available.

Save / Load

The game saves automatically every few seconds, but without cloud saving, there's a risk of losing your progress. Additionally, Itch.io's versioning system uploads each update to a different path, which can also lead to lost saves. To avoid this, it's recommended to back up your progress regularly.
