I have discovered a cheat. You can actually skip levels. I read all those cheats and could not do them. I discovered something, you can skip from 1 to 16 levels. I call it jumping because it is not an exact science. Sometimes, it jumps more or less than I think it is going to. I skipped level 16, skipped as many as I could in second round of playing and got to 3rd level. Easy after that. I still skip 8, 10, and 16. They are boring, no lives and hard.

[Editor's reply: Yes, *you* discovered it.]

anyone – does anyone have a suggestion as to what is the best paddle acceleration level? I’m stuck at 32,000 – only a few games away from completing the second cycle. I’m trying the “fast” accelleration level but am finding it hard to get used to. desperate.

[Editor's reply: Paddle acceleration seems to me to be a personal preference. Just out of curiosity, are you using a BlackBerry Curve? Many of the high scores seem to come from BlackBerry Pearl handsets.]

Currently at 860000 with 110 lives. Playing over a month. If your BB goes to SOS, DO NOT REMOVE THE BATTERY. Just power it off and the game will be saved. Most “difficult” levels can be overcome if you start one notch over from far left and realease. BBreaker is the official noningested laxative.

thanks for the comment! in the meantime I’m at 1.111.770 65 x 34 and 134 lives to go. Since the BlackBerry was first used by another person in the company there is some kind of password and I cannot send the max score….which really piss me off! if somebody has a cue how to to revert it without losing my game?
Thanks, Domingo

Hi!! I’ve just reached 1.000.000 points!!!!!!
yes, you read it correctly ONE MILLION POINTS! 58 times all 34 levels!! and still counting as I have 117 lives to go…..I’m playing the same game since more than 3 months now!
The first 3 x 34 leves were really hard but then the ball slowed its pace and now its just keeping it in play. Level 16 is still a piece of s..t
Does somebody know what AMMO on the right side means? thanks and keep playing
mingo

[Editpr's reply: Congratulations! My girlfriend's game is at a similar score right now - watch out! Don't forget that in order for your high score to be posted, your game actually has to end normally. Beware of the Berry crashing! Ammo tells you how many shots you have left when you get a "Gun" pill power-up.]

Level 16 is by far the most difficult of the 34. However, I think I found a bit of an unorthodox way of making it much more simple. On my first shot, I move the direction all the way to the left and shoot. This will make the ball hit the brick in the top middle (which also gives you a pill). then when the ball comes back down, let it go. I know it sounds crazy, but just let the ball go and sacrifice that life. Then take the exact same shot with the direction all the way to the left. This will destroy nearly all the bricks in the U in one shot. But of course, don’t try this method if you get a “catch” on the first shot.

Hi
Guys I can’t believe the millions part its “insane”, I’m sure its on a Pearl or something.
Getting a score beyond 100,000 on a curve is really brutal and nearly impossible. I just got a curve three weeks ago and I’m so addicted to the game and i am on level 17 with a highest score of 10,170!! If you watch videos on YouTube on Brick Breaker it clearly illustrates the different version of the game whereas the curve, bold, and storm don’t exceed the 100,000 range and the screens are old, plus they are posted a year ago where the new blackberries have not arrived yet.
My Hint for the guys that stay on the game with hours, is to stop and have a long-interval before continuing to play and remember the pace of the game next time you continue because you might “un-pause” the game and find the ball going really fast beyond your expectations which will reduce important lives.
Good Luck for all of you and have a nice time and try to only play the game in your spare time.
Kind Regards,
Mohamed

Jose,
Thanks for the advice. I’ve been using that strategy as much as possible, and it always works. The hard part is guessing as to when the bricks are going to start to move down, and sometimes i’ll lay back and hit the ball back and forth off of a silver brick until then so I can avoid the problem. Just before I came here, though, the bricks moved down before i thought they would and i sent the ball up and of course it went out of play… lol. Was on level 30 with 15 lives (my best chance yet). Oh well though thanks for the help.

i also, got upto like 300,000 a load of times with around 50 lives each time and when i drop the phone the batter must move and it resets. rather annoying but when the levels start to slow down again after a few times round lets be honest we could all just keep going forever. the only real challenge is getting past the 2nd time round the levels so for those of you still to do it don’t be too impressed by anyone with 40,000 plus hi score, it’s really easy after that anyway!

Why cant you guys score in the freaken BILLIONS That almost KILLS me. Mimi,how to use the gun,well,try pressing the space bar. My dad could not get past level 16. However I have done it a million times. After you get over 500000,the battery is dead. That freaken sucks. In 2008, the game was gone and I was doing well. That darn sucks because the phone died. After the phone died,I began doing it online. But the dang computer shut down.I AM OFFICILY DONE WITH ANY TYPE OF BRICKBREAKER FOREVER. DO NOT BUY ANOTHER BLACKBERRY AGAIN. I HEARD SOMEONE PUTS LIQUID OVER THE BATTERY. IT MAKES SHUT DOWN A LOT. NEVER.

[Editor's reply: Thanks for posting 12 different comments one sentence at a time, no wonder you never figured out how to charge your battery.]

Thanks Jose – are you up at 3AM playing? I guess I’m not that talented at this game when I see this Darrell guy with 1151 lives— what do you mean when you say beat the ball twice in response to Jim??? Maybe I’m missing something.
