Block Breaker
=============

A classic break-the-blocks arcade game. Clear every block to
advance to the next level. Don't drop the ball!


HOW TO PLAY
-----------
  Move paddle ......  Mouse, or arrow keys (Left/Right, A/D)
  Launch ball ......  Click, or press Space
  Pause / resume ...  Space
  Help .............  H   (shows blocks, power-ups, combos)
  Exit .............  Esc


SCORING
-------
  - Break blocks in quick succession to build a COMBO.
    Hit 3, 5, or 8 in a row for score multipliers.
  - Tougher blocks (orange, red) are worth more points.
  - Some blocks drop power-ups when broken:
      Wide paddle, Slow ball, Extra life, Multi-ball


PLAYERS & SCORES
----------------
  Multiple players can share the game. Pick your name from
  the dropdown, or add a new player. Each player keeps their
  own top scores, and the leaderboard shows everyone's best.

  Scores save automatically when a game ends. A game in
  progress is NOT saved if you quit early.


AUDIO
-----
  Music and sound effects can be toggled with the buttons in
  the top bar, or with the M (music) and S (sound) keys.


REQUIREMENTS
------------
  Windows 10 or 11, with the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime
  (already installed on most modern Windows systems).
