Three types of breakable blocks in Stage 1

Breakable blocks,[1] also known as space grids,[2] are rectangular objects in Alleyway that are required to be destroyed to complete the stage. These blocks can be broken with a ball, and are present in every stage of the game. Breaking these blocks grants points.

In Bonuses, the ball passes through these blocks while breaking them.

Types[edit]

In total, there are three types of breakable blocks:

  • White blocks, that give 1 score point.
  • Gray blocks, that give 2 score points.
  • Black blocks, that give 3 score points.

Gray blocks and black blocks cause the ball to speed up.
