Hope this helps somebody.

I played this game 100 times and currently have the second highest all time score. And here is how i got it.

(1) I keep a small notepad on the games i like. I have one for this game.
(2) Each level has a (P) power ball, (S) slower, (F) faster, (L) larger paddle.
(3) I keep track of each level and what box that they are in, at that level.
(4) Some levels have a bonus box, and will give you 2,500 points and take you to next level.
(5) If you can, try to get(P),(S),(L)and stay away from (F).
(6) If the level has a bonus box i will try to get the power ball before going for it.
(7) The reason being is that you have to hit the bonus 2 times in some levels.
(8) With the power ball you only hit it once.
(9) Keep your eye on the ball at all times.Don,t let the falling letters distract you.
(10) Go for the ball at all times, never a letter unless you are sure to get the ball.
(11) Always try to get the ball to work from the top.Bounce from roof to boxes.
(12) If boxes are clustered close i go up and down, unless they are to close to paddle.
(13) If boxes are far apart, i go side to side if i can.
(14) In the higher levels, if you go for a 2,nd ball twice you will lose your ball. So don,t.
(15) Hit pause and go have a pop if game is to intense. Try when ball is on the way up..
(16) Most of all i have lots of fun and keep on playing after each failure.
(17) And of course we all need lots and lots of good luck in this fast game.

I know it all looks good on paper, but when the ball is bouncing all over the place, it is much harder.
But have fun at all the games you play and i hope this helps you out in this one.

Thanks for all this imformation...

ya cheers some great info.that will help me 2 try n beat u.no offence

Hope you do. Another tip i forgot is to get the ball to leave the paddle up to the wall on the right and not the blocks. This will give you a better chance of getting to the ball. Good luck.

  Thanks for the tips!!!  One more I can add... watch where your curser is because, if you are like me, you have a tendency to want to "push" the ball up with your curser.  If the gameball gets off the board, then the curser gets off the game and doesn't move at all!!  I find myself letting the curser get higher and higher until it is off the game board and the ball just drops.  Hope this helps a little more!!  Have a good one.....Mindy

Thanks

kool

The tips are wonderful, but I've come to realize that with this game, you just need a lot of luck.  Once you get past level 4 or 5, the ball starts flying so fast, that if you don't slow it down, it flies right through some bricks without even touching them, and it has even flown right through my paddle on occasion.  Still, I can't quit playing!!!!!!!!!  LOL.

Good luck everybody!!!

Scooter

thanks for all the tips~

Thanks for all the good tips, I'm with you though scooter, it does go right through my paddle and through the bricks sometimes.  I love these games by rival but sometimes the computer cheats and makes it very frustrating.  No matter how good your hand eye coordination on this game you just can't catch that ball sometimes.  I still love the games though!!!

thanks heaps everyone for the tips... they will come in handy

thanks for the great tips. I have tried  some of them found them quite helpful.  Never thought about keeping notes on games could be helpful   thanks again

good tip. I to found myself trying to push the ball higher with the curser.  I guess it takes some patience to let the ball get where you want it to.  have fun

LOL, THATS THE TRUTH.

hmm i dunno if this counts as cheating or erm... a snart strategy lol. if u find the game too fast by the 5th or 6th level then hold down the space bar it pauses it on and off so its a bit like slow motion and the cursor moves the same helped me get from 8000 to 11000 not great but better. hope this helps if its not a cheat?

o and one more thing if there is a bonus squuare in every level right? then how come you never get it in some levels i mean theres no way its always the last square u hit right? iv only got it a few times?
