Speedup Paddle Speedup Paddle

This block will cause the mouse sensitivity to increase which is essense causes your paddle to speed up. This block doesn't do to much by itself, but just wait until you get a few... Let's just say, you better not have a hand twitch.
No Control No Control

This block will cancel the paddle control on the ball. Typically the ball's direction will be controlled based on the position that you hit the ball on the paddle. After hitting this block the ball will just keep bouncing in the same direction
Auto Control Auto Control

This block will cause the ball to be controlled by paddle movement. When you move the paddle to the right, the ball moves to the right. When you move the paddle to left, the ball moves to the left. Fortunately it doens't quite move as much as the paddle.
Extra Points Extra Points

This block will score bonus points. The higher the level that you are on the greater the number of points scored for this block. Go for the high levels!!!
Bonus Multiplier Bonus Multiplier

This block will increase your bonus multiplier. You start out with no multiplier. Each Bonus Multiplier block that you hit will increase your multiplier by one. With one hit, you will be double... Two, triple... Three, quadruple... etc. This bonus is applied each time that you score! You lose your multiplier when you lose your ball.
Ball Control Ball Control

This block will give you control of the ball when a mouse button is pressed. If you move the paddle left, with a mouse button pressed, the ball will move left... vice versa for right. This is similar to the Auto Control block, but now you have control! HINT: When the ball beside some blocks, pull on the mouse hard to the side. You can take out a lot of blocks this way.
Normal Block Normal Block

This is your everyday average block with nothing special. Just hit the block and it goes away.
Double Block Double Block

This is your everyday average block with just a little specialness. It takes two hits to get rid of this one. After the first hit, it becomes a normal block.
Triple Block Triple Block

This is not quite your everyday average block with nothing special. It takes THREE hits to get rid of this one. After the first hit, it becomes a double block, then another hit and it will be a normal block.
Quad Block Quad Block

This is definitely not your everyday average block with nothing special. It takes FOUR hits to get rid of this one. After the first hit, it becomes a triple block, then another hit and it will be a double block. Yet one more, and it becomes a normal block. Finally, with the forth hit, the block is gone. I sure pity you if there is a heap of these guarding the exit block!
Exit Block Exit Block

How would you get off a level without an exit block. This block, when hit, will take you to the next level. Unlike many other breakout style games, in YABOG you do not have to clear all the blocks. You have to hit the exit block (or level warp).
Exploding Block Exploding Block

This block is also known as the bomb block. When you hit it, not only does it go away, but it takes out all the blocks around it with a big BANG! Actually there isn't a big BANG, but all the blocks are taken away.
Extra Ball Extra Ball

Now here's a block worth fightin' for! This block as the name implies will give you an extra ball. This block is worth gold when you get to those hard levels!
Indestructible Indestructible Block

Aaarrrrrggggggg! This block won't go away! I guess that is why it is called Indestructible! I hope for your sake there aren't too many of these down too low!
Invisible Invisible Block

But I didn't think there was a block there... That is what you will be saying after you hit a couple of these. They certainly don't look like they are there, but believe me they are! After one hit they become visible as a normal block... Then they take one more hit to be rid of them.
Level Warp Level Warp

Do you want to get to those higher levels faster? Then aim for the Level Warp block. This block can take you as many as three levels ahead... depending on how the computer is feeling. It functions like an exit block, except it will take you 1 to 3 levels up.
Magno Paddle Magno Paddle

This is the super Magno Paddle. When you hit this block, it will energize your paddle and make it become magnetic. Every time the ball gets near (since it is stainless steel) it will stick to your paddle. To release the magnetic charge, press a mouse button.
Random Block Random Block Block

No, I didn't studder. This is the "Random Block" Block, also affectionately known as the "HA" block. When you hit this block, a bunch of random blocks will appear on the play field. They may help you... and... they may not. The higher the level... more blocks are generated!
Random Speed Change Random Speed Change

This block is known to YABOG Connoisseurs as the "weird" block. After this block has been hit, and until the ball is lost, or a slow down is it... The ball will on occassion change speeds. It could get faster. It could get slower. Whenever the ball changes speeds the ball also slightly changes directions. You have been warned.
Slow Paddle Slow Paddle

This block will cause the mouse sensitivity to decrease which is essense causes your paddle to slow down. The first couple hits shouldn't hinder you too much... but you hit several of these and you are going to see your paddle moving in slow motion. I hope you know how to pick you mouse up while mouseing...
Slow down ball Slow down ball

This block does just want it says it will. The ball will slow down a bit. Then with another hit, a little slower... then a little slower... yawn...
Speed up Ball Speedup

This block will speed the ball up. Faster. faster, and faster. This will definely test your reflexes!
Tail of Blocks Slow Paddle

The tail block will cause the ball to grow a tail! No. Really! A tail of blocks will begin to form as the ball flies around your screen. The higher the level that you are on, the longer the tail will be! If you can get the ball to bounce correctly, you can use this to your advantage... otherwise... let's not go there.
Ball Warp Slow Paddle

Beam me up Scotty... or over... or down... or whever... This block will warp the ball somewhere on the play field. Sometime this one can get ya right where ya want to be with very little work... Other times it can put that ball in a spot that is darn hard to get to.
The Special Feature Block Special Feature Block

Ahhhhh..... The special feature block. This block is special. Very special. It works much like the invisible block, except... sometimes it won't go away.. sometimes it will be somewhere where it wasn't before... sometimes... it will just do funky things. Do I dare say what this block really is???? Let me put it this way... "It's not a bug, it's a feature!"
The Block that never was... Multiple ball

This block like the name implies WOULD have split into two balls so you would have had multiple balls going at one time... As a matter of fact... The code is in the game. It just got cut, do to speed considerations. After all there is only so much a 386-16 can do with poorly programmed code... I just thought you may like to know what you never got... But... there is always Ultimate YABOG (YABOG 2)
