Whats your progress now? Just wondering what the top score is? I'm in the middle of what seems to be an endless game. 65th round, score of 1,103,145 with 256 lives left. No matter how bad it gets, I still end up with a few more lives every round.

24265 , did i beat it?

[sonny]

i figured out that in the first level if a lfie drops there are more lives through out thw whole game... next time you play try it... and its really good if you get 2 lives to drop...

ok - i've gone nuts over the past few months of business travel w/ my brickbreaker (have the 7230 model). anyway, the 'real hack' post on the previous page is legitimate, but after months of messing around (trying the same cheat on different levels, on one level after another, etc., and losing most lives on level 16) i've found the holy grail.

first, a couple ofthings about that hack that you should know - once you successfully get into the skip-level mode, if you die OR HIT PAUSE it will stop skipping, and continue on one level at a time - the same is true of my version (took me a long time to realize this - thought it was just inconsistent).

ok - here's my version - wait 'til level 3 before doing the cheat - on level 3, do the same thing as the other cheat- press in your scroll wheel at the split second the ball/missile/gun (whatever you have at the time) hits the last remaining brick, then hit 'ok', then hit 'new game', then ok again. you'll notice it takes you back to level 2 - which is what you want. if you were to continue from here without executing the rest of my cheat, it would skip every other level (go from 2, to 4, to 6, etc.). BUT - for the holy grail - repeat the cheat again on this level (remember - you can't die, or pause). this time, you'll notice that if you execute the same cheat as before, you have to hit ok again (twice i believe this time), then do the same thing as before - press the scroll wheel after you've got through the 'ok' screens, and select 'new game'. this time, you'll have to hit 'ok' about 3 times, but you'll notice it takes you to level 3.

at first you might think this is just the next level, and nothing happened - WRONG. proceed through this level as normal (don't execute the cheat again). now - when you're finished, you'll notice that you will have to press in the scroll wheel about another 3 times of 'ok' screens - and a miracle happens - you will now be on level 6! just continue to play and you will skip 3 levels at a time - not the 2 as before.

the real beauty - because of the sequencing, you will SKIP the dreaded level-16 that usually sucks all your lives (the 'U' shaped disaster people have referred to).

if i die before that, i will simply start over and re-execute the cheat because once you're past that as i think someone else mentioned, the levels are all easier for the most part.

once i got this cheat to work, i have made it to level 34 (frustratingly enough, i only had one life and didn't finish - but the good news is, level 34 looks pretty easy).

ok - yes i have a life (and a job) - but this little experiment has occupied many hours in airports and i'm happy to share.

e-mail me if you want to know where you can send money.

ps - remember what i said about manually pausing the game or dying neutralizing the 'skip' effect. if you need to pause, wait until the last brick is destroyed on whatever level you're on and don't touch anything - the game will remain on hold.

pps - i THINK this cheat works if you execute it on level 2 first, which will then put you back at level 2 again, and then repeat the cheat again - but it seems difficult for whatever reason to catch the last brick just right on the second attempt this way (like the ball accelerates slightly and it's hard to time or something like that).

ppps - because i'm so happy when i manage to repeat the cheat twice and get into 3-level skip mode, i haven't experimented past that to see if you can skip even further - would be curious if anyone out there can expand on this cheat. i have executed the cheat on other levels and so far, if i do it after level 3 the first time, it starts me back at level 2 regardless of what level i execute it on.

Did anyone figure out if the unlimited lives thing worked?

I have a BB7250 V4.0 High Score 9045

haha good idea!!

These are pretty damn cool!

[G-Unit]

Has anyone else gotten the cheat working??

I've tried it a bunch of times, unless i'm doing something wrong.

I tried at level 2 to 6, waiting until the last brick and then pausing it just when i touch it.

I get the next screen with the OK, but then when i chose New Game, it asks me if i want to cancel the existing game , so i say "yes", and it takes me back to level 1.

There definately is a glitch with the game because i know that I have skipped level 16 once, I don't know what happened but from all the times i've played it, that was the only time.... I need to figure out the cheat!!

[adrianbruce]

highest score 17995. went to level 34 then atarted again at level 1. i finished on level (34+) 5. later levels were easier. 16 the hardest

BDDeWeese's right. Once you get good enough to beat the game the second time through the levels, it gets easier again. The bricks still drop more quickly, but the ball doesn't move psychotically fast. At that point, all you have to do is focus on dying less than you bring in new lives, and you can play forever. (Sounds like sarcasm, but it's true.) I'm at 135,000+ right now on my 9th or 10th rotation through the levels with 46 lives (would be more lives except I got bored and started catching all the Flips just for practice, and you can't help but die a LITTLE more that way), and the game will basically go on forever from here on out I suppose.

This is awesome, dude! I have been dreaming of this for a year!

I found the best "cheat" of all. I usually play on the subway, but the bouncing around can take its toll. When I play at my desk (instead of working, dudes) I am hot!

Today I got to 13,225 at level 25....besting my previous best of 12,250! Woo Hoo!

[jhf]

just rolled over 500,000 with 140 lives left ... same game for a couple months. a ways behind the leaders with scores over 1M, but seems like this game will last a long time ...

So... a very important lesson about Brick Breaker, life, and the pursuit of happiness: NEVER forget to charge your phone. At around 300,000 points my battery died. I had to start over, but I'm back at around 80,000. Stupid battery.

I got a score of 200. I will never play again therefore I will never break my record. My personal record will stand to the end of time. Took me hours but I am really proud of my accomplishment. I should have saved the screen for my grandchildren but alas I got sent work to do and had to close the game.

Sorry can't find the OS version but it was on a 7250
