The game of breakout is perhaps one of the oldest known game types. Direct a paddle to keep a moving ball in play until all the bricks are eliminated to win. It’s been made and remade the world over. And while the game itself is exciting the tedium of it can wear at times.

Breakout Thing does away with the tedium of moving the paddle by automating the process. All you have to do is sit back and relax as the computer wins the game for you. It’s actually quite enjoyable to just sit and watch the game play, a bit like when I was younger and would go to the arcade with a dollar worth of quarters, but end up spending hours just watching the players that were so much better than I beat my favorite games on one credit.
