Many Bricks Breaker is a very simple clone of any sort of Breakout style game out there, sporting a very simple color palette, simple levels and simple game mechanics. This makes for the quintessential TikTok video game that you would watch at the bottom meanwhile another stolen video plays at the top... In fact, that is how I found out about Many Bricks Breaker and even found its PC port, and then the rest is history.
The game is pretty much what it says in the tin, it's a pretty easy game where your objective is to clear out every stage from its different squares that disappear once you paddle a ball into them, the gameplay loop dwelves in just trying to hit somewhere where the ball will for sure stay and then just wait until a power-up that duplicates the amount of balls on-screen appears, after that you can see the balls spreading everywhere like a bunch of atoms(or perhaps something more) and before you know it, the stage is done. You do this for around 100 or so stages.
At least something to give it credit for is that it works marvels as a background game while you're listening to something or talking to other people, it's very Zen and you don't need much of you to actually get through it... But in the other hand that's kind of the demise of it.
Now, I'm not too knowledgeable on other "brick-breaker" Breakout games out there, but I'd assume they would feature so much more than this, right? Something like more modifiers or more creative ways to play or stages, I think that if I actually went out of my way to play a good puzzle game in this style I might even think worse of this game for being so easy and simple so bad that it's numbing. And I think that's the extreme where Many Bricks Breaker is at, it's nothing more than a mind-numbing Zen Breakout experience with zero to none skill involved, you pay 5 bucks for it upfront and it is exactly what you get, wouldn't really recommend it if you're looking for actively interactable puzzle action, in fact, I wouldn't even recommend it if you're looking for A Game at all.
...only as a dopamine stimulus device.
