Breakout Beyond revitalizes the classic brick-breaking formula from Choice Provisions. Players control a paddle to clear blocks and reach a goal at the end of each of the 72 distinct levels. Special blocks provide temporary power-ups, including large clearing blasts, a defensive barrier, and a laser cannon.

The game features procedural audio and visual effects that intensify as player combos increase, creating a dynamic spectacle. An unlockable endless mode offers a global online leaderboard for competitive play. Breakout Beyond also supports local two-player co-op, allowing two players to tackle the challenges together.
