But only survived players can receive bonus and also the amount of bonus increases as number of survivors decreases. 4 survivors - 75 points for each survivor 3 survivors - 100 points 2 survivors - 150 points 1 survivor - 300 points!! Players can only bounce the ball, how can they attempt to win the game? Is it purely depending on luck? Although luck is very important, your paddling skill also helps to win the game as well. You can change the angle of ball movement if you hit the ball while your paddle is moving. This slight change of angle may help you to get a special block, to eliminate other players, or to avoid multiple balls coming towards you at the same time. ++------------------------------------------------------------------++ This is a FREEWARE.
