Blocks have a random chance of dropping power ups. These are items which appear on screen where the block was, and gradually fall down. If the player catches the power up with the paddle, it is applied for a short time. Power downs could be in there too. Possible power ups include:
make the paddle wider/narrower
make the ball slower/faster
extra ball(s) are added
an extra life
add lots of points
the paddle becomes sticky (when the ball hits it, it doesn't bounce off, instead it attaches to the paddle, and the player can reposition the paddle and angle the ball before firing it again (like the restart)
the paddle can shoot bullets (like space invaders) to break blocks
the ball becomes a bomb (when it hits a block, it blows up, destroying the block it hit, any surrounding blocks
Feel free to make separate tasks for the different power up types, and add more...
