One ball, a hundred pegs, pure physics
You aim a cannon at the top of the screen, fire a metallic silver ball, and gravity does the rest. It ricochets off blue pegs and orange ones, and your job is to knock out every orange peg before you run out of balls. It plays like pinball crossed with pachinko, and a single lucky bounce down a crowded board is the kind of moment you will want to replay. The game lets you do exactly that: save your best shots and watch them again.
Bjorn the Unicorn and the super-guide
There is one power-up here, and it belongs to Bjorn the Unicorn. His special is a super-guide: it shows where your next shot will travel beyond the first bounce or two, which turns a hopeful flick into an actual plan. Since Bjorn is the only master in this version, you will lean on him a lot, and the later boards make him work for it. The five Master challenges are where the difficulty lives, and clearing all ten Extreme levels is only the start. There is also Duel Mode, where you can face a friend or the computer and find out who really reads the board.
How long does it take to finish?
How long does it take to finish?
The ten Extreme levels take a few hours at most, and the five Master challenges add a stretch of genuinely tough play on top. It is a compact package rather than a full Peggle entry, which suits it well: quick sessions, one more shot, and a board that finally lights up when you clear that last orange peg.
Do you need to know the Valve games to enjoy it?
No. The Half-Life: Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2 art and sounds are a treat if you know them, but the game stands on its own bouncing, peg-clearing fun. Recognizing a headcrab is a bonus, not a requirement.
Can you play it with a friend?
Yes. Duel Mode lets you play against a friend or against the computer, taking turns on the same kind of peg board. It is a low-stakes way to settle who has the better eye for a ricochet.
Is it hard?
The early levels ease you in, but the Master challenges and some later boards are genuinely tough. Small changes in aim change everything, which is exactly why one more attempt is so hard to resist.
