I downloaded the game and its source code, and I have new information for you.

There is an upgrade (this game calls it an “extra”) that lets the ball break through that middle column of bricks.

The extra you want looks like a ball with a lightning bolt on each side. Something like:

⚡🪩⚡

It seems to be called METAL or ENERGY BALL.

I don’t know this breakout game, but some have bricks that are tough without being unbreakable. Hit the same brick enough times, and it eventually breaks.

In a breakout game that has upgrades, there might be an upgrade that helps you get through.
