Ricochet Lost Worlds is a Breakout style game.
Tips from blueuzzard
Ricochet's biggest problem is that if you get your unseen pointer out of the playing field nothing happens. You lose your ball. This is something that needs to be fixed. Since there is really no way to contact MS Games other than the feedback, which is apparently never seen by humans, it won't get fixed.
To get level 10 play in Easy mode. Start at level 31. In level 31 you will get a lot of points (20,000+) if you have most of the many balls available and they are upgraded. Level 32 will also give a lot of points on the same basis (10,000+). Just get through the other levels quickly at the best you can and you should get Mastery Level 10.

The best suggestion I can give for ML10 is to play the 31-40 set on hard... when you see a multiball split, PAUSE (right-click) when it is at a height that you can catch it... when the ball(s) is in countdown mode, un-pause and get on top of the multi-ball power-up... when you do this, the new balls will be moving at a speed of 2 or 3. if you get a ball generator power-up while you have this slowed down ball(s), let your fast one drop!! Any balls generated at this point will be moving at the slower speed and quite easy to keep alive. at 500 or 1000 points each, this is the way to get a truly high score. DO NOT however do this when you are already slowed... it will increase the spped of the new balls!!! make sure that the multiball power-up is at a height equal to your ship, so that if you were to move over it, it would be touching your ship. this is when you pause while not touching it at all... be somewhere else on the screen... anywhere else... when you pause... in a box in the bottom right corner you will see the message "TIMEOUT" appear, then disappear, then reappear again, etc etc. when it appears the second time, you have paused long enough to get a 3 second timer on your active ball(s)... click "CONTINUE" on the menu, then move your ship so that it is in contact with the multi-ball power-up.... I hope this helps, I don't think I can explain it much better, but you can only use this on hard or insane... it won't work on normal or easy

My high score for Ricochet came playing round 31 on Easy. The levels in that round give you many opportunities to have many balls alive at the end. Normal balls are 500 points each and upgraded balls are 1000. On one of the levels I really racked up the points by clearing all the bricks while a lot of balls were circulating. If you can get a really useful powerup such as the stinger missile or the EMP or laser balls, you can clear the bricks in a hurry while balls are floating around. The ball generator is key too. When you have a good ball upgrade, avoid the normal ball power-up/down.
