Autoball

Autoball is an exhilarating arcade game that combines strategic planning with fast-paced action. In this game, a new challenge arises every 10 seconds as a ball is launched onto the board. Players must skillfully place, move, and upgrade pegs and cannons to maximize their scoring potential. The gameplay is reminiscent of a high-stakes, reverse version of Peggle.

Here’s how it works: every ten seconds, a ball is automatically dropped from the top of the screen. Players can purchase pegs from a menu on the right side of the screen and position them on the board using their mouse. Each time the ball makes contact with a peg, points are scored.

These points are crucial as they allow players to buy additional pegs, cannons (which catch and redirect the ball), upgrades for the pegs, or even increase the number of balls in play. However, each ball drop deducts points from your total, and with each subsequent drop, the cost increases. Managing your points wisely is key, as depleting them to zero means game over.

To enhance the challenge and potential for high scores, every few turns, special circles appear on the board that boost your points when hit by the ball. Additionally, baskets may appear at the bottom of the screen, offering bonus points for balls that pass through them. Mastering the placement of your pegs and cannons to capitalize on these opportunities is essential for enduring as many turns as possible and achieving high scores.
