# gnome-breakout(6)

Addictive breakout game for GNOME

## NAME

gnome-breakout - Addictive breakout game for GNOME

## SYNOPSIS

**gnome-breakout** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **gnome-breakout** command.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. It does not have any documentation at all.

**gnome-breakout** is a clone of the classic Breakout game.

Control a paddle at the bottom of the playfield and bounce a ball  against bricks at the top to destroy them.  When all of the bricks  are destroyed you advance to the next level.
