Platinum #311: BRIKS (NA)

Hey there!

If you’re a fan of brick breaker games, you can’t go wrong with this one. Easy, but enjoyable.

What is the game all about?

BRIKS is a typical brick breaker game. You’re launching a ball from your paddle, and try to destroy all bricks without losing the ball.

Each level has a different arrangement of bricks as well as a different background. Some of the levels can be really tough, luckily there are various power-ups (multi-ball, fireball, laser…), which will make your life easier. To unlock power-ups, you must destroy the yellow bricks. You can find a few of these bricks in each level.

Speaking of levels, there are a total of 50. The first 40 levels are unlocked straight from the beginning. You must beat them all to unlock the levels 41-49. As soon as you’ve beaten the last levels, level 50 will unlock. This levels is totally different from the others, as you don’t destroy bricks. Instead, you’re fighting a boss. To beat the boss, you must hit him many times.

Whenever you get stuck in a level, try to replay a few of the easy levels to rack up some lives. A good level for this would be 27. If you know how to beat this level, you can rack up 10+ lives within a few minutes. Having more lives means having more tries to beat a specific level. This is especially helpful for level 50.

What about trophies?

Most of the trophies are tied to power-ups or to beat specific levels. I wouldn’t play too much attention on trophies while playing the game, as most of them will unlock automatically. After you’ve beaten the game, check which trophies you’re missing and replay some levels. The clean-up shouldn’t take too long. The most annoying trophies might be getting 50k points in a level or getting the triple-fireball. For this, simply replay level 27 over and over again. Eventually, you’ll also unlock these trophies.
