Exam Game - Peggle

Game Objective

In Peggle, your goal is to clear all the coloured pegs on the screen by launching a limited number of balls and strategically bouncing them off pegs to earn points and progress through the levels.

Guide

At the top of each level is a cannon, which you can use to shoot balls. Your ammunition is limited, indicated by the UI on the top-left of the screen. Aim via mouse movement, and shoot with the left mouse button.

In each level there are colourful platforms called "pegs". To pass a level, each peg must be shot and destroyed. Some pegs require more hits than others to destroy. You will fail the level if you run out of ammo while any pegs remain.

At the bottom of each level are grey buckets. When a ball enters a bucket you will gain points. Each bucket's point value is displayed in front of them.
