Level 1 (Clear 25 red pegs from 69 total - Pro target 250k)
The first design is a regular pattern of round pegs set in seven rows. A couple of bamboo poles stick out from each side of the screen.
Attempt #1 - No power ups. Score: 467,790
- I struggled for early catches a bit, so I was low on balls throughout the endgame. Luckily, my catching was on good form and I kept the last few balls going through all the remaining pegs for a total clearance.
Level 2 (Clear 25 red pegs from 75 total - Pro target 350k)
The second design features eight straight lines set at two different angles with a number of round pegs scattered about them.
Attempt #1 - No power ups. Score: 691,290
- I found this an easier total clearance than the previous one. Several of the early balls took extended ricochets and that helped build points and clear pegs. The angles were conducive to catches as well.
Level 3 (Clear 25 red pegs from 82 total - Pro target 400k)
The third design has a large elliptical curve neatly lined up with the shooter with lots of round pegs inside it and a few more beneath.
Attempt #1 - No power ups. Score: 682,650
- Another total clearance. Some good early catches and ricochets early on helped, and of course the huge sweep with the first ball.
Level 4 (Clear 25 red pegs from 90 total - Pro target 200k)
The fourth design features another long curve, but this one is more bowl shaped, and the round pegs are only above it, not below.
Attempt #1 - No power ups. Score: 949,520
- This one has a ridiculously low pro target. I had it with the first shot. I took another total clearance without too much difficulty.
Level 5 (Clear 25 red pegs from 92 total - Pro target 400k)
The fifth design features seven short curves amidst a scattering of round pegs.
Attempt #1 - No power ups. Score: 562,650
- I could have finished this one quite easily, but I decided I'd have a go a taking a full house of total clearances. I got up to 93% before running out of balls.
Attempt #2 - No power ups. Score: 385,880
- I missed two red pegs that time, mainly due to some poor catching. I hope I don't regret turning down an easy clearance in the first attempt.
Attempt #3 - No power ups. Score: 542,780
- I was actually going for a fine cut on the purple peg with my final shot, but I missed it altogether and hit the last red behind it. No total clearance, but not to worry. I could only manage an 89% clearance and was down to two balls, so it wasn't looking likely.
Level 6 (Clear 25 red pegs from 96 total - Pro target 300k)
The sixth design is mainly a regular pattern of round pegs, but there are also some diamond-shaped ones at the top.
Attempt #1 - No power ups. Score: 200,320
- Four red pegs missed and 100k below the pro target. These levels are getting harder.
Attempt #2 - No power ups. Score: 471,080
- I hadn't meant to take out the last red peg then as I still had balls in hand, but I'd passed the pro target, so it wasn't a problem.
Level 7 (Clear 25 red pegs from 86 total - Pro target 350k)
The seventh design features two pairs of concentric circles, one top left and the other bottom right. Each pair has a teleport portal in the centre. Between them is a larger circle with some single curved pegs inside. Also inside this circle, at the top, in the receptor portal for the two teleports.
Attempt #1 - No power ups. Score: 573,420
- I wasn't sure if I was going to get there as I messed up a lot of shots, but somehow I managed to muddle through for a victory and a pro score.
Level 8 (Clear 25 red pegs from 88 total - Pro target 300k)
The eighth design is a cascade of round pegs coming down the waterfall, fanning out at the bottom, and then curling up again at the sides.
Attempt #1 - No power ups. Score: 559,440
- Another accidental finish after the pro target had been breached. Not too much of a stretch.
Level 9 (Clear 25 red pegs from 100 total - Pro target 325k)
The ninth design has three circle obstacles that look olike barrel-ends. These are set in a regular pattern of round pegs.
Attempt #1 - No power ups. Score: 312,900
- I should have just taken the final red peg direct. I had a shot at it, but I couldn't guarantee a pro score playing it that way. I tried to take it off a barrel, but missed it by a whisker.
Attempt #2 - No power ups. Score: 531,860
- I muddled through somehow again. Not the prettiest or most skilful game I've ever played but they all count.
Level 10 (Clear 25 red pegs from 107 total - Pro target 300k)
The tenth and final design has four vertical posts, and then six bamboo pole ends sticking out from the sides of the picture, three on each side. Above and between the posts are more round pegs.
Attempt #1 - No power ups. Score: 250,800
- I got very little luck, and the red pegs seemed particularly awkwardly placed.
Attempt #2 - No power ups. Score: 457,960
- I got it that time with four or five balls to spare, and it could have been more.
