 As bricks are being cleared, random Power-Ups will occasionally released upon impact (see Power-Ups).The player may choose to catch these with the paddle, or avoid them, depending on the specific Power-Up and its effect.For instance, some Power-Ups may speed up game progress by enhancing the paddle with guns or splitting the ball into multiple balls, while other Power-Ups may increase the difficulty by speeding up the ball or shrinking the paddle.
