New in this level
- Shuttles, Satellites and Astronauts to protect, each worth a bonus while intact.
Good to know
- The meteor launches as soon as the level starts, so there's no time to place pieces: watch how it flies.
- 1 Shuttle is on the board. Each one still intact at the end adds 1,000 points; hitting one loses that bonus.
- 59 of the 64 squares are holes; a meteor that falls into one loses the attempt. 3 open squares are free for your pieces.
- The flight follows the same rules every time, so the same pieces in the same places always give the same result.
From the original game
In the original MeteorBall, this level opens with this card:
“Oh No!! A meteor is approaching From the North. It's going to pass Dangerously close to our shuttle. If we are lucky it will land in that worm hole and go away forever.”
