Owner

Hex Breaker is an original twist inspired by Breakout/Arkanoid. Use original names, art and level designs, nothing copied from the original.

Core mechanics

Break a wall of hexagon bricks with a paddle and ball. Bricks have HP tiers, some drop power-ups (wide paddle, sticky, multiball, laser).

Controls

Mouse/touch drag or Left/Right arrows (A/D) to move paddle; Space/tap to launch; gamepad left stick/d-pad + A.

Difficulty curve

Ball speed +5% per level, brick HP and layout density increase, indestructible hex blocks from level 5, moving brick rows from level 10.

Ad reward

Extra ball (or multiball start) once per run. Limited per run by the shell's continue rules and verified by the reward server.

Art needs

Paddle, ball, 5 brick tiers + indestructible, 6 power-up capsules, 3 backgrounds, break particles.

Acceptance criteria

Playable in the shell through games/hex-breaker/manifest.json
Keyboard, touch and gamepad controls work
Difficulty ramps as described and is tuned for a fair first 2 minutes
Score, game over and local high scores integrated
Ad reward hook (onReward) implemented and tested with the placeholder provider
Sound effects respect mute and volume
Art assets in place (placeholder shapes acceptable until the art issue lands)
Runs at 60 fps on a mid-range phone
