How a stage works
Step
Each stage gives you a launcher and a screen full of balloons. You adjust your angle, fire the spikey ball, and it bounces off walls and floors until it either hits every balloon or exits the stage. Clear all of them and the game advances you to the next level without any extra input.
- Fire the ball it leaves the launcher and starts bouncing off any surface it hits.
- Clear the stage once every balloon is popped, the next level loads automatically.

Using ricochets to your advantage
Tips
The angle at which the ball hits a wall determines the angle it bounces away. Learning to read that relationship is the main skill in this game.
- One shot can pop multiple balloons if you route it through a chain of bounces.
- Small angle changes produce big route changes after two or three bounces, so adjustments do not need to be large.
Getting unstuck on a difficult stage
Check
You can attempt the same stage as many times as you need without any penalty. When a stage has you stuck, try adjusting your angle and observing the ball's full path on each attempt.
- Watch the ball's full path on each failed attempt rather than looking away after it misses the first balloon.
- Change only one thing at a time between shots so you can tell exactly what each adjustment does to the route.
