The brick is an obstacle that, when dropped, will lay a wall of special tiles perpendicular to the nearest wall, which will stay around for a certain amount of time. For people on your team, these tiles will be transparent ; your bombs, bullets and ships will be able to move through them. Your enemies, however, will not be able to fire anything through it. It will stop them, and everything else a wall normally would. Bricks can be obtained by collecting greens. The brick is very useful in games with bases etc. When the enemy is about to overrun your base, simply drop your brick in the entrance and watch them die ; you can now fire at them whilst they can't fire at you. The same counts for attacking an enemy base. One well placed brick will give you such an advantage that you'll conquer the base with greatest ease. Use the bricks wisely and you'll be surprised how many times it will win you a game. Bricks are like a wall to an enemy, so what happens if you drop one right on top of them? Just like a door, the player that is caught in it will be warped, regardless of his / her energy level and regardless of the presence of antiwarp. This is a cool trick to get one or more players out of your base. You can fly near them and try to drop the brick on them. This is a bit risky though, since your oponents will be firing unpleasant things at you. Instead of that, drop a portal, then back off, and warp back to the portal when they are next to it. With a bit of aiming, you'll be able to warp two, maybe even three opponents out of your base, giving you some time to get reinforcements to defend your base against the next wave of attackers. You can also use bricks to warp people out of safe zones. A brick will not expand into a safezone, it will limit to the edge of it instead. However, if an enemy's ship isn't completely in the safezone, with a small part sticking out, you can warp them by dropping the brick on that part. The player will get warped somewhere into the open, and he'll die lots of times if he is away from his computer for awhile. It's not always fun to see a good win-loss ratio being screwed up because of tricks like these, so watch out for this yourself.
