Method 1: Using the In-Game Reset Option (If Available)

The simplest way to restart is through the game's own settings menu. Many modern games, including Multi Brick Breaker, offer a built-in reset function.

1. Open the Settings Menu

   Launch Multi Brick Breaker from your Steam library. From the main menu, click on the "Settings" or "Options" button. This is usually represented by a gear icon.

2. Locate the Reset Option

   Navigate to the "Gameplay" or "Account" tab within the settings. Look for an option labeled "Reset Progress," "Delete Save Data," or "Restart Game." The exact wording may vary depending on the game version.

3. Confirm Your Decision

   If you find the option, select it. The game will likely prompt you with a warning that this action is irreversible. Confirm your choice to permanently delete your current save data. The game will then restart to apply the changes.

If your version of the game does not include this feature, you will need to use one of the manual methods described below. For more details on game mechanics, check our mechanics guide.

Method 2: Deleting Local Save Files

If the in-game reset is not available, the most reliable method is to manually delete your save files from your computer. This method works for all PC versions of Multi Brick Breaker.

1. Locate the Save File Directory

   The default save location for Multi Brick Breaker is typically in your user folder. Press Windows Key + R, type %appdata%, and press Enter. Look for a folder named "Multi Brick Breaker" or "Chaos Interactive." Alternatively, check the following path: C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\MultiBrickBreaker\.

2. Identify the Save File

   Inside the folder, you will see files with extensions like .sav, .dat, or .json. The main save file is often named savegame.sav or profile.dat. If you are unsure, look for the largest file or one modified recently.

3. Delete the File

   Select the save file and press Delete on your keyboard, or right-click and choose "Delete." Empty your Recycle Bin to ensure the file is permanently removed.

4. Restart the Game

   Launch Multi Brick Breaker again. The game will detect that no save file exists and will create a new one, effectively starting you from the beginning.

Method 3: Disabling and Resetting Steam Cloud

Multi Brick Breaker uses Steam Cloud to sync your progress. If you only delete local files, Steam may re-download your old save. You must disable cloud sync first.

1. Disable Steam Cloud for the Game

   Open your Steam Library, right-click Multi Brick Breaker, and select "Properties." Go to the "General" tab and uncheck "Keep game saves in the Steam Cloud for Multi Brick Breaker."

2. Delete Local Files

   Follow the steps in Method 2 to delete your local save files. Make sure the game is closed before proceeding.

3. Re-enable Steam Cloud (Optional)

   After deleting the files, you can re-enable Steam Cloud by checking the box again. The next time you launch the game, Steam will upload your fresh, empty save to the cloud.

This process is crucial if you plan to share your computer or want a truly clean slate. For more troubleshooting tips, see our troubleshooting guide.

Frequently Asked Questions About Restarting

Can I restart without losing my Steam achievements? Yes, Steam achievements are stored on your Steam account and are independent of your local save file. Deleting your save will not affect them.

Will restarting fix a bug or glitch? In many cases, yes. If your save file is corrupted or you are experiencing a progression-blocking bug, a fresh start can resolve the issue. For specific bugs, check our patch notes.

Is there a way to have multiple save files? Currently, Multi Brick Breaker only supports one active save file per Steam account. To have multiple playthroughs, you would need to manually back up and restore different saves.

What if I accidentally delete the wrong file? If you have not disabled Steam Cloud, you can re-enable it and launch the game to download your previous save from the cloud. If you deleted the cloud save as well, you will need to restore from a manual backup.
