Levels and worlds
The journey starts next to the Sun and goes out through 350 levels in 14 worlds: nearby stars, nebulae, galaxies and the deep Universe. Every level is a real star or galaxy, with a fact about it and a link to read more.

Every level is harder than the one before. Inside a level every stage is a step harder than the last, and the last stage is always the hardest. Difficulty is measured as the life of all the bricks over your shots × balls per shot, and it rises with every level.
Every 25th level is a boss, a famous star. Beating a boss earns world rewards and opens hard mode for that world. Finish level 350 to complete the game.
The 14 worlds
Open a world to see every level stage by stage: how many bricks, how tough they are, the special bricks, rings and gems, and which hazards are on each stage.

Inside a level, the stages go from fewest to most bricks, and brick life rises stage by stage. Every one of the 5,988 stages has a different shape, and every player gets the same boards.
How difficulty is rated
Each stage is rated by how much brick life it has for the balls and shots the level gives you, compared with every other stage in the game, from ●○○○○ Easy (the easiest fifth) to ●●●●● Very hard (the hardest fifth). Hazards, special bricks and rings change how a stage plays, so read them alongside the rating.
| Rating | What it means |
|---|---|
| ●○○○○ Easy | About one good shot clears it. |
| ●●○○○ Fair | A couple of good shots. |
| ●●●○○ Tough | Needs balls above the wall or a special brick. |
| ●●●●○ Hard | Plan your angles and use every special brick. |
| ●●●●● Very hard | Expect to use rings, specials and hazards to get through. |
