Gameplay information

You must launch the balls so they land in the scoring pockets. Initially you have 10 balls, which can be normal, red or blue. A red ball scores 2 times the pocket score and a blue ball scores 4 times the pocket score. Sometimes a pocket will glow, landing a ball there earns you an extra ball. If you score at least 600 points, you get 3 extra balls at the end of the game.

Strategy

  • Normal balls: always aim for glowing holes. If no hole is glowing, aim for the 100-holes.
  • Red balls: aim for the 100-holes unless the 50-hole is glowing, in which case aim for the 50-hole. (The logic is that gaining 200 points is better than gaining a score lower than 100 with the red ball plus 100 points with the extra ball, as the extra ball has a low chance of scoring higher.)
  • Blue balls: always aim for the 100-holes.

Even with this strategy, it's mostly up to luck. Glowing 100-holes and many red/blue balls allow for a greater score.
