Rules and scoring
Game principle
You start with three attempts. You lose a life each time the ball bounces on the floor
instead of on the racket. The game is over once you have lost all lives. Two difficulty
levels are available:
Bricks are of several kinds: some of them can be destroyed at first hit, others must
be hit twice, and a third kind is never destroyed, no matter how many times they are
hit. As you gain levels and as time goes on, the ball will speed up.
Bonus
During the games, some bonuses fall from the one-hit bricks and destroy them at
once. Each of the 7 bonuses available is identified by a specific letter in the bottom
right part of the screen:
P A projectile springs out of the pad.
The ball sticks to the pad. Press 5 to release it.
G
L The pad shrinks.
M The ball splits in 3.
S The ball slows down.
I One extra life!
N Goes directly to the next level.
Scoring
Scoring is based on two items: bricks and bonuses. Each brick destroyed scores 5
points. When you destroy several bricks at once, the first one scores 5 points, the
second one 6 points, the third one 7 points, etc. Scoring is reinitialized as soon as
the ball touches the pad. Each bonus catched scores 20 points.
