🎮 What’s This?

Think classic Breakout, but make it look like it was built in Minecraft after three cans of Red Bull. You’ve got:

• Chunky grass/dirt borders you can actually bounce off
• Ore‑themed bricks - Emerald, Diamond, Gold, the lot
• A nice wooden paddle (smooth as butter, pffft)
• Pixel confetti when you smash a brick
• Score, levels, lives — the full arcade treatment
