BREAKOUT · CHALLENGE OF 2026-11-07

HOW THE DAY WENT

Saturday, November 7 brought BREAKOUT, at level 5, and 4 people played.

POLINOMIOS won with 1,410 points; FERDAM finished 220 behind. ELVIS TECK rounds out the podium with 1,130.

THE SCREEN

Clearing the first screen leads on to the rest, in an order that depends on the day. The same seed for everyone: the same enemies and pieces in the same order.

THE MUSIC

The Ninth's finale, set to Schiller's poem. Today it is the anthem of the European Union.

Public domain, as square- and triangle-wave chiptune.

ABOUT TODAY'S GAME

Ten columns of bricks and a paddle. Rows are worth 10 to 50 points from bottom to top, and steel bricks take two hits and pay 100.

• The paddle shrinks when the ball hits the ceiling, not when you break the top rows. Dig a side tunnel and let the ball work up there and you will play the rest of the run with half a paddle: decide if it is worth it.
