3. Catch the green modifiers and avoid the red modifiers 
4. If you run out of balls you lose

Description

BuildOut is our take on the classic game Breakout. Combining the classic ball bouncing gameplay with the falling blocks of Tetris. The player builds their own paddle larger and larger with each level. But watch out! You may run into trouble if you don't build with scaling in mind! Shoot for a high score across 10 exciting levels!

Tips

• Be careful building too tall, or your paddle will get stuck
• Be careful building too wide, or you won't be able to dodge
• Try filling out your paddle or letting some blocks fall to control growth in either direction
