Only bonus open here.. :(
Tisamu 21 Jun 2016 17:39
The achievements worked fine until the level 10 which gave me the third bonus level achievements, but I failed it before.
Thoreau 3 Feb 2018 00:40
Besides most of the "clear bonus stage before timer runs out" not being working properly, I don't think they are good cheevos because you a) probably won't do it first try, and b) can't go back and try again, having to start the game all over again

good fun set.
Tiempillo 29 Aug 2021 18:11
How do people even master this set? Whenever I fail to clear a bonus stage, I have to play the entire game up to that point just to get another chance at it! And this can take quite a bit of time depending on how far you got, mind you.

Bonus levels are unforgivable. I'm trying to master this set in hardcore mode since 2018 but I can't do it due to the last bonus level.
cLynEr 26 Oct 2022 19:51
After a normal playthrough I completed stage 25 and got the achievement for clearing bonus level 8 :/
Gamechamp 24 Jan 2023 05:01
For the bonus stages, try to hit the ball in the same direction and speed over and over again. This should make its trajectory cover every possible spot on the board.

Posting here so i can come back in 5-7 years and know how long it took to master.

I'm just not going to worry about "hardcore-ing" this. Nobody has got time for that
TheRealBillHicks 11 Mar 2023 14:58
I'm in love with this golden borders. Lol. I couldn't let this be the only game without one.
orchidcnr 25 Apr 2023 09:55
I have game over'd on the last couple stages like four times now im losing my mind
Cassievania 3 Jan 2024 18:00
Sorry, I don't have the patience to play through all 2 hours of this game just for a single chance at 10 points, lol.
toddbstreams 24 Mar 2024 12:26
Mastery #60: Gamechamp's advice was invaluable. Very much recommend just making a save state and practicing the bonus round a few times before trying for the mastery.

Nahhh nahh NAHHH

A launch title for a handheld system thats design ethos is being able to pick up and play for short bursts takes like over an hour to get to the end and has no password system ... why
WokeWendy 28 May 2024 12:33
This is unbelievably underscored. There are VNs on here worth way more. But it’s a pretty fun game.
MrDynamite92 20 Oct 2024 15:16
Almost mastered. 3 Years ago I played it and beat the game.
Today I get the Mario, Koopa and Blooper Stage. 1 Achievement left, but it's too underscored while you're playing 2 hours to beat the game normally. I love this game anyway

Mastered.

I would like to add on the following to Gamechamp's advice for the bonus stages: when the bonus stage starts, try to bounce the ball off to the right. Repeat this trajectory rightwards by letting the ball bounce of the right half of your paddle until the trajectory reaches the right side of the screen. Then the ball should automatically follow this trajectory back leftwards. From here on keep bouncing the ball with the left half of your paddle until all the blocks have been cleared.

Practice this with savestates until you have mastered this technique.
