Phallout

NO LONGER BEING MAINTAINED.

Phallout is an updated version of the classic paddle game, the user slides the paddle to control the ball as they break away the bricks to score points.

Simple, yet challenging, Phallout is a perfect way to pass time on your own but, Phallout lets you compete for the high score with other players.

Instructions

  • Move the paddle left (4 key or left arrow) and right (6 key or right arrow) to knock out all the blocks.
  • Sometimes just a few blocks remain and they are hard to hit. If this happens you can press the 2 key to skip to the next level but beware each time the level increases the game moves faster and the paddle gets narrower!
  • If you need a break pause the game by pressing the 0 key.

Winning

  • If you think you can compete with others enter your nickname at the end of the game and see how you stack up.
  • If you prefer not to submit your score, simply press cancel when prompted for a nickname.
