remember people, it's turn based, take your time and don't just blindly rush into a room. if you think you are stuck, find the stairs you went down to get to that level and go back up to a previously cleared level to heal. if you don't need to use a healing/energy pool, then skip it so that you can come back later to use it if you need to.
breakout and lag are a nasty combination. protip, keep your ball under control. if you let it hit the corner of your paddle and it speeds up too much it will go faster than you can move your paddle.
Might do it in the future update.
