About the Game

Welcome to the wireless security code-breaking trial system CODE BREAKER. This system digitizes security system code into a virtual format or “brick breaker video game.” You will have access to the three systems: Code Breaker, Classic, and SYSTEM UNKNOWN, each one offering a set of locations to hack into.

- Code Breaker: A shake-up on the standard brick breaker formula, now introducing a shooting mechanic to both speed up gameplay and allow for trick shots. Instead of the standard power-ups, testers are given a variety of weapons via power-up drops, including a shotgun, rapid-fire, laser, and bomb. Beware: not all drops are safe.

- Classic: A return to traditional form. Mostly. The paddle can no longer fire (unless you find the right power-up,) and you can expect the normal random drops upon destroying a brick, including an extra ball to lose, bonus damage, an explosive ball, a bigger paddle, a vortex, and a teleportation ball. More will be added as I think of them.

- UNKNOWN SYSTEM: ERROR. System not recognized. Corruption detected.

Along with these three systems, each one also has a choice of three difficulty options, including:

  • Normal: Standard brick break difficulty. One paddle and one pit.

  • Hard: Take out the ceiling and let some sun in. You now have to worry about two paddles.

  • Impossible: Walls? Who needs them? Take them all out! The ball can fall out of any corner of the screen. Trust the name. You'll never beat this.

For the convenience of the tester, lives have also been removed. This system relies on a strength of connection that has been interpreted as a "score." If the score is too low, the system disconnects. For the competitive types, this means that high scores are far harder to get. 

Various rewards can be earned by testers who stick with their task and accomplish minor feats. These results in different color options and new types of blocks for testers to experiment and enjoy. Should we see feat, the system will be upgraded to handle new and unique security systems. 

We thank you for testing Code Breaker! Happy hacking.
