Overview

Launch a ball and try to hit as many pegs as possible! Berries you grow will be added to the board as extra pegs. There's 24 berries to discover, all with different stats, and some with special abilities!

  

Rules

You get 5 shots to hit as many pegs as possible, but hitting orange pegs will refill your remaining shot count. If you're at the max of 5 shots already, hitting another orange peg will grant you a coin instead.

Clearing out all 3 orange pegs restocks both the blue and orange pegs, but leaves your grown berries on the board.

Once your Juice Bar (top right) is full, you will be given 3 options. You can spend 3 coins to plant 1 random berry, 9 coins to grow 3 at once, or skip to gain a coin. You additionally wont be able to plant berries if you don't have enough open slots for them on the right of the screen.

You fill the Juice Bar by hitting most peg types.

The number at the top left of each growing berry plant shows how many shots remain until it's fully grown! More powerful berries typically take longer to grow.

How Scoring Works

Blue pegs are worth 10 points, and orange ones are worth 30. Each type of berry is worth a different amount of points.

If you hit 5 pegs in a single shot, you get a 2X multiplier. At 10 hits, that increases to 3X, and then increases +1X for each additional hit, up to a max multiplier of 20X.

Try saving high scoring berries for a shot you can get a high multiplier on!
