Official description

SMASH! POW! CRUNCH! A brick wall appears at the top of the screen, and your missions is to smash two walls off the playfield -- one brick at a time. Use the controller to move the paddle across the bottom of the screen. With the paddle, hit the ball into the wall. Each time the ball hits a brick, the brick disappears and you score points.
