The player controls the "Vaus" a space vessel that acts as the game's "paddle" which prevents a ball from falling from the playing field attempting to bounce it against a number of bricks. The ball striking a brick causes the brick to disappear. When all the bricks are gone the player goes to the next level where another pattern of bricks appears. There are a number of variations (bricks that have to be hit multiple times flying enemy ships etc.) and power-up capsules to enhance the Vaus (expand the Vaus multiply the number of balls equip a laser cannon break directly to the next level etc.) but the gameplay remains the same.
