well I don't think I actually did anything about it so it's probably semirandom and we'll have to keep our fingers crossed I guess

Trick shots all the way!

And are you sure this obviously genetically engineered thing does not try to break out from the "Peggle Institute" by having you disable security systems?

Aim for the middle blue peg in the group of three at the top right, because we want to get rid off all the blue pegs before we clear the stage.

I reckon you should aim for the blue peg in the middle. There's no likely obvious shots right now, once that bastard's gone you can bounce off the orange into the leftern mass. Still, may as well aim a little to the left, maybe we'll get a decent bounce.

oh god the implications of this are terrifying :gonk:

So anyway, I heard you guys wanted to see SOME MOTHERFUCKING TRICK SHOTS?

WATCH THIS



EXTREME FEVER soundtrack

too easy :smug::smug::smug::smug::smug::smug::smug:

So let's talk about EXTREME FEVERS: When you clear the last orange peg, you enter EXTREME FEVER. Your multiplier increases to x1000 giving a good chance for some sick points, and the basket is replaced by those holes that give extra bonus points. In addition, you are awarded 10k points for every spare ball. If you clear every single peg off the board, you get an ULTRA EXTREME FEVER, which makes all the bottom holes give you 100k points. This usually takes some planning to accomplish, and probably wasn't really going to be worth it on this level since we haven't been introduced to pink pegs yet.

Also, I do believe those 66,300 points make me the current thread champion. :viggo:



A summary of our adventure so far. Note that we get an extra 100k for completing the level in one attempt.

On to the next level!



oh drat i forgot how slow this game is to introduce new stuff on a first playthrough

yeah we get it bricks are identical to pegs gently caress you too bjorn



apparently the peggle institute contains little fairy things with terrifying holes for eyes, good to know

I see some brick slides. You should hit a brick slide. Probably by aiming at the top of the topmost brick on the left.

I wouldn't wanna waste my trick shotting superpowers at the beginning of a level, would I? it's much less impressive when you can help but hit stuff even if you try :smugbert:

my gif making program betrayed me, but fear not! peggle has an instant replay button! (especially useful for being a smug jerk to your "friends" while playing multiplayer)

See the two orange pegs on the left hand side of the screen near each other? Try to bank it in the middle so it bounces off of both.

This LP reminded me that I own this game but never played it so I've spent the last couple of days becoming a PEGGLE MASTER and doing the stupid challenges has made me realize the value of bouncing shots for bonus points.

So bounce it off the closest right orange peg so it bounces to the 2 orange pegs on the bottom left.

it's getting pretty hard to select shots with all these suggestions, I'll need to find a better system

bounce the ball off the brighter bumps by the blue bumps, bouncing to the bridge abutting the ball-o-tron. (bets on bonus ball?)

Yup, that's exactly what I was saying. Only way it would have been better is if we hit the free ball.

shoot at the fairy, so that you're aimed for the gap in the ramp 1 square over from the orange brick

Hit the upper right side of the peg furthest on the bottom left, as far away from orange pegs as possible. try and get it to bounce off back into the middle and then drop down without hitting anything else.

shoot it off the bottom left peg, hoping to bounce it way back over to the right and hit some good pegs. False hope is the worst shot.
