Little Brick Out

About

Little Brick Out twists the Breakout formula by turning the playing field on its side. Players maneuver a paddle left and right to bounce a ball upward through rows of bricks, shifting the layout from vertical to horizontal. The goal remains the same, clear every block, but the sideways direction changes how angles and timing work. Simple controls hide growing complexity as levels introduce tighter spaces and faster action. This 1979 Apple II title was coded by Steve Wozniak, who packed clever design into the platform’s limited hardware. Its horizontal take on a familiar mechanic made it stand out among early arcade ports. While short on levels, the game earned a cult following for its sharp execution and nostalgic value. Retrospective forums often highlight it as a clever example of early home computer gaming.
