Wine-Assembly supplies Michael P. Welch’s freeware DX-Ball. The basic loop is simple: bounce the ball into bricks and prevent it falling below the paddle. Power-ups can change the paddle or ball, so watch the falling symbols instead of collecting everything automatically. This is the original freeware brick breaker, not DX-Ball 2.
