Inspired by the legendary Breakout and Arkanoid, Shmashout is a brick breaker with a twist. Bounce the ball off your paddle, smash through colorful brick layouts, and grab power-ups that change the game entirely. But watch out for gravity mode -- when it kicks in, the ball curves and dips in ways you never expect, turning every level into a wild physics puzzle.
Shmashout keeps things fresh with procedurally generated levels, so you never play the same layout twice. Power-ups rain down from broken bricks: multi-ball, laser paddle, sticky catch, and more. The difficulty ramps up smoothly, and the gravity mechanic adds a layer of strategy that makes this much more than a simple paddle game. It is easy to learn, but chasing a top score will keep you hooked.
Shmashout is part of SHMARCADE, a collection of free retro browser games. Every run is recorded so you can watch replays of top scores, challenge friends with shareable links, and climb the global leaderboard. It works on desktop and mobile with touch controls -- no download, no install, just pure arcade action.
