WINDOW RE-SIZING - Brickles Plus utilizes the whole window as a game area. As a result, showing a "grow icon" at the bottom right of the window would "mess" things up. But even if you can't see it, it's there. The Brickles Plus window can be re-sized any time that the game is not in play. Note that when you re-size the window, the Brickles themselves automatically resize too. The zoombox allows you to switch back and forth from full screen (any size screen) to any other favorite setting. Try playing Brickles Plus in the smallest possible window just for fun.
PANIC KEY - On rare occasions, (depending on such factors as window size, ball speed, paddle size, etc), it is possible for the ball to become "stuck in a rut". If this happens, the ball will continuously trace out the same path, and any attempt to move the paddle might result in loss of the ball. Should this ever happen to you, try the "Panic Key". The "Panic Key" (an upper or lower case "P") can be tried once for each ball in play. Pressing this key will give the ball a new random direction. (Hint: It is safer to press this key when the ball is far away from any other object. Experiment for best results.)
