Did you even play it? It's a Breakout game. You know, where you have the paddle. And a ball. And you have to break the blocks. Yes? No? Okay.

Anyway...nice game! I've got some suggestions for you though to help make it more fun:

• Make the bricks be different colors instead of just making all of them teal. It helps add some variety. If you want to get more advanced, then you could even make special arrangements of blocks for each level instead of just aligning them to a rectangle shape.
  
• Escape should quit the game, not pause it.
  
• When the game is paused, you should display a "Paused" message or something similar.
  
• Speed the game up a little more. Also, if you win and decide to play again, increase the speed by a little each round so that it gets harder and harder.
  
• You could try adding powerups if you know how to.
  
• Add some sort of lives system, where you start with 3 (or so) lives and the game ends when you run out.
  

Now go make pong.

I'm still working on the colors and stuff. I'll make that in next version, also in next version. Also be in the next version and I have no idea how to make powerups but I'll figure it out and I made the lives system and when it went to 0 it spammed the msgboxes saying play again? So I'll make all that in next version.

and I made the lives system and when it went to 0 it spammed the msgboxes saying play again?

Did you remember to change the lives count back to the starting value?

I just used a label like if label1.text = 0 then it asks to play again and if yes then it will spawn bricks and no as end but the problem is is that the msgbox will spam
