When you finally clear the screen of the orange pegs, you get what I consider to be one of the best payoffs ever in a casual game.
If you’re lucky enough to land your ball in a basket that caroms across the bottom of the screen, you’ll keep that ball in play for another turn. The goal is to strike all of the colored pegs before you run out of balls, your supply of which replenishes with each new level. For example, one is a lobster and when you activate his powerups, you’ll be able to use claws at the bottom of the screen like pinball flippers.
Each new level reveals a new puzzle, and as you progress through the levels you meet new characters called Peggle Masters.
