Break out of the ordinary with UltraBall! UltraBall combines the fun of a break-out game with all the action and excitement of a classic pinball game. Ricochet off bumpers, rotate spinners, earn multi-balls, and much more while breaking every block in sight. You can even collect power-ups and earn massive point combos!

How to Play

Use the flipperpaddle to keep at least 1 pinball in play until all breakable blocks have been broken.
Move the flipperpaddle left and right with the mouse.
Click the mouse button to flip the flippers.

Note: If a saved game is detected, you will be given the option to continue it instead of starting a new game.

Blocks

Standard: Takes only 1 ball hit to break
Frozen: Shatter when hit allowing the ball to pass right through without rebounding off
Armored: Takes 2 or more hits from a normal ball to break
Unbreakable: Can only be blownup or frozen
Invulnerable: Cannot be destroyed, but can turned into Standard blocks by switches
Freezer: Freezes all surrounding blocks
TNT: Blows up surrounding blocks
NUKE: Armored, Blows up a larger area of surrounding blocks

Playfield Elements

Bumpers: Traditional pinballesque bumpers that award points when struck by a ball.
Bumpette: A tiny rubber bumper whose only purpose is to give you a hard time without any points.
Bumper Lights: Bumpers with colored lights on top that toggle ON/OFF when struck by a ball (See Combos section).
Rollover: A noncollideable light that awards points each time a ball passes over.
Rollover Light: A special Rollover that toggles ON/OFF each time a ball passes over (See Combos section).
Ball Lock: Awards points for each ball that falls into it.
Unlinked Ball Locks release the ball shortly after it enters.
Linked Ball Locks hold on to each ball until each lock is full, then all balls are released simultaneously.
Target: Awards points when knocked down by a ball (See Combos section).
Warp: Balls that enter Warps reappear from other Warps.
Attractor: Attracts the ball towards its center.
Repeller: Repels ball from its center.
Switch: Turns invulnerable blocks into normal blocks when a ball passes over it.

Powerups that affect balls or the paddle expire after 30 seconds.

Scoring

Points are earned by using the pinball to break blocks and interact with the various playfield elements (bumpers, spinners, etc...).

Bonus Pool Points: Catching powerups and earning combos adds points to the Bonus Pool.

Combos: Combos are large point bonuses that can be earned by:

Lighting up a group of Bumper Lights or Rollover Lights
Knocking down a group of Targets

Bonus Multiplier: (indicated by the lights near the bottom of the playfield)

At the end of a level or when a foul occurs, the Bonus Pool is multiplied by the current Bonus Multiplier and then added to the point total.
The Bonus Multiplier can be increased by:
Earning a combo
Catching a Bonus Multiplier powerup
The Bonus Multiplier is reset at the end of each level and after a foul.

Bonus Pool Points: These points are added to the Bonus Pool and are multiplied by the Bonus Multiplier at the end of a level or when a foul occurs.
