Brick breaking, or Breakout clones, are a subclass of the bat-and-ball genre. This corner of the gaming industry is named for the mechanic of the player controlling a block, or bat, which hits a ball towards another player’s bat (like Pong) or different objects such as colored bricks.
These games are an excellent way to kill time or keep the little ones entertained. And they’ve been making a serious comeback on mobile devices. Phones and tablets are a great platform for this game genre, due to their screen size, processing power, and instant accessibility. And Android devices specifically have seen a significant rise in these sorts of apps becoming available on the Google Play Store.
But with so many to choose from, how can you know which ones are worth your time? Never fear — we’ve done the research for you and uncovered the five best brick-breaking games for Android.
