Pegball Unblocked

Fire a ball into a tall field of pegs and clear all the orange targets before your shots run out.

now playing: Pegball

Half skill, half luck, all bounce. Pegball unblocked gives you a cannon perched above a tall field packed with pegs, and every shot turns into a noisy chain of ricochets on the way down.

Frank Force made it for his open-source LittleJS Arcade. The graphics and sounds are all generated in code, so the game is tiny and starts almost instantly.

How to play Pegball

Aim the cannon and fire. A dotted guide shows the direction of the shot, and after that gravity takes over. Each peg the ball touches lights up and disappears shortly after, so the field opens up as you play.

Most pegs are blue, but some are orange, and those are your real targets. There is also one green peg that slows time for a moment when you hit it. Hitting lots of pegs in one shot builds a combo that multiplies your points.

You start with ten balls. A bucket slides back and forth along the bottom, and dropping into it earns one ball back. Clear the last orange to win. If your supply hits zero first, the round is over.

Tips

  • Clip pegs on the side. Grazing a peg kicks the ball sideways toward more targets. Hitting one dead center tends to pop it right back up.
  • Open up orange clusters. Early shots that clear blue pegs around a group of oranges make the later shots much easier.
  • Watch the bucket. On long straight drops, wait for the bucket to be heading toward where the ball will land.
  • Use the slow-motion peg well. It is most useful when plenty of pegs still wait underneath the ball.
  • Be careful at the end. With only a few orange pegs left, a precise shot matters more than a big combo.

Pegball questions

Is the board the same every time?

No. The layout follows the same general pattern, but which pegs are orange and green changes each game.

Can I earn extra shots?

Land the ball in the moving bucket at the bottom. Each catch adds one ball to your supply and some bonus points.

Can I play on a phone?

Yes. Touch where you want to aim and tap to shoot. Mouse, keyboard and gamepads work too.
