Perfect Paddle Control
Use small, precise movements rather than large swings. Position your paddle just beneath the ball for better angle control.
Angle Manipulation
Hit the ball from the paddle edges to create angled shots. Sideways angles keep the ball active longer and clear more blocks.
Power-up Mastery
Collect multi-ball for coverage, larger paddle for safety, and laser power for precision. Time their use strategically.
Ball Trap Technique
Once you break a hole in the top blocks, let the ball bounce inside the cluster. It will clear dozens of blocks automatically.
