Start
The meteor starts to the left of the board, heading right.

Your toolbox

  • 2 × BackSlash

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

Already on the board

  • 1 × Satellite

Good to know

  • You have 40 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 Satellite is on the board. Each one still intact at the end adds 1,000 points; hitting one loses that bonus.
  • 56 of the 64 squares are holes; a meteor that falls into one loses the attempt. 6 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 with the rotate button.
“Don't Forget, you can rotate pieces once you place them on the board. Use the rotate button.”
