Game tips and cheats

While you are playing, you need to defend with your racket for the ball to not hit the ground.

Sometimes, a feedback effect on the ball may help easy to defeat a stage.

Ball Offset:

 Left   Keep   Right
  ________________
 / 0 |   1    | 2 \
 \___|________|___/

For example:

  • If the ball go to right and hit point 2, it still go to right.
  • If the ball go to right and hit point 1, it still go to right.
  • If the ball go to right and hit point 0, it will go to left.
  • If the ball go to left and hit point 2, it will go to right.
  • If the ball go to left and hit point 1, it still go to left.
  • If the ball go to left and hit point 0, it still go to left.

Feedback effect:

  • Sometimes, the ball hit a block and go to a reverse direction, place your racket and try to invert the direction again (look at Ball Offset).
  • Doing this can help alot to destroy special blocks like: 2xBlock and 3xBlock.
  • But be carefull to not make the ball fall/hit the ground.

"Lost a live" note:

  • If you loose a live, you will restart with the default racket and ball position, but the blocks destroyed will not revive again.
  • You have 3 Lives, the "LV" indicate the ball's you have, not the ball's remain.
  • After all lives lost, a "GAME OVER" text will appear.

Cheats:

  • RESET - On middle of the game, pause and after music stop press A+B+Select.
  • PLAY STAGE 0 - On title screen, keep Down+A pressed, when the PRESS START start flashing, press Start without releasing the others keys.
  • ENDING SURPRISE - When you finish the game, you will see a screen, press B and leave it until you see the surprise...after that, the game will reset as normally.
