Start
The meteor starts above the board, heading down.

Your toolbox

  • 1 × S_SE
  • 1 × BackSlash

Most pieces can be rotated once they're on the board. How each piece turns the meteor.

Already on the board

  • 1 × Astronaut
  • 1 × Alien Ship
  • 1 × Shuttle

New in this level

  • Alien Ships, which must all be destroyed before the meteor may enter the wormhole.

Good to know

  • You have 60 seconds to place your 2 pieces before the meteor launches. Press Go to launch sooner.
  • Every piece you leave in the toolbox adds 1,000 points, so using fewer pieces scores more.
  • 1 Shuttle and 1 Astronaut are on the board. Each one still intact at the end adds 1,000 points; hitting one loses that bonus.
  • There is 1 Alien Ship on the board. Every one must be destroyed before the meteor enters the wormhole, or the attempt is lost.
  • 28 of the 64 squares are holes; a meteor that falls into one loses the attempt. 32 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:

A speech bubble.
“So it looks like we have discovered the source of the Meteors. ALIENS! You must destroy them to Win!!”
