Breakout where you aim every return: the spot where the ball meets your paddle changes its angle, so you're placing shots, not just surviving. Three lives, endless walls.
Nothing listed in the connect popup: the calculator has to be plugged in and switched on to appear. Wake it up, check the USB cable (charge-only cables won't work), or move to a different port. Close any other tab that's using the calculator.

Controls
- Left / right arrows set the paddle gliding that way. It keeps going until you tap the other direction or it reaches a wall, so there is no hammering a key to chase the ball.
- Up or down arrow parks the paddle.
- CLEAR in the middle of a run goes back to the title screen, and that run's score is not counted. Press it again there to quit.
- On the game-over screen, ENTER plays again and CLEAR goes back to the title screen.
Endless levels
Clear a wall and the next one arrives in a new shape. Six brick patterns rotate: wall, checkerboard, diamond, fortress, hourglass, and spider. Each level speeds the ball up 12 percent (capped before it gets silly) and pays a bonus life for the clear.
Scoring
Bricks near the top are worth up to five times the bottom rows, so digging a channel and letting the ball rattle around the roof is the high-score play.
