History

Alleyway

Breakable blocks are objects in Alleyway. They are required to be destroyed to complete the stage. These blocks can be broken with a ball, and they are present in every stage of the game. Breaking these blocks grants points. In Bonuses, the ball passes through these blocks while breaking them. There are three types of breakable blocks: white blocks, which give one point; gray blocks, which give two points, and black blocks. which give three points. Gray blocks and black blocks cause the ball to speed up.
