99 Balls is an engaging physics-based ball-shooting game. Shoot white balls from the bottom of the screen to destroy the numbered blocks at the top.
Just like in the game Wooden Bricks Vs Balls, each target displays a number. You need to utilize ricochets to hit as many targets as possible and destroy them before they descend into the danger zone.
Targets appearing at the top of the screen are marked with numbers such as 1, 2, 3, or higher values. This number indicates how many times a target must be hit by a ball to be destroyed. For example, a target marked "1" requires only one hit, while a target marked "2" requires two hits. With each impact, the target's value decreases by one.
Consequently, targets with high values require more hits to eliminate. You should prioritize destroying targets that are getting closer to the bottom of the screen.
The challenge in 99 Balls intensifies as new targets appear and the play area becomes increasingly crowded. Targets with higher values also appear, requiring more hits to destroy them.
You cannot focus on just one area for too long. Each shot must be calculated based on the current position of the targets and the likelihood of them descending further in subsequent turns.
If a target reaches the bottom boundary line, the game ends. Therefore, keeping the area near the bottom clear is one of your top priorities.
Here is a guide on how to shoot the ball and tips for executing shots that achieve multiple, accurate impacts:
The control mechanism in 99 Balls is very intuitive. The launch point is at the bottom of the screen, accompanied by a white dotted line that helps you predict the trajectory.
To take a shot, hold the left mouse button and drag in the direction opposite to where you want to aim. As you adjust your aim, the dotted line indicates the ball's projected path. Release the mouse button to launch the ball.
Crucially, do not simply aim directly at a single target. Calculate the path so the ball can bounce off walls or strike multiple targets in succession. This approach maximizes the utility of the balls available in each turn.
Once launched, the ball can strike numbered blocks and then bounce to other locations. Instead of shooting straight at one target, look for an angle that allows the ball to travel across multiple positions. A well-calculated shot can cause the ball to bounce repeatedly between targets, generating a chain of impacts before returning to the bottom.
The dotted line displayed before shooting is a useful tool for predicting the path and fine-tuning your aim.
Your current ball count is displayed next to the launch area at the bottom of the screen. During gameplay, you can collect small circles that appear between targets to increase the number of balls available for future turns.
Having more balls means you can generate more impacts within a single turn. This is vital for handling high-value targets and progressing further in the game.
Therefore, when choosing a trajectory, do not focus solely on destroying a target. If you can maneuver the ball past the bonus items without sacrificing a good shooting angle, take the opportunity.
