Ballistic: how to start, control and improve
A practical Ballistic guide covering the first steps, controls and one focused tip before you play.

Core mechanic
Launch bouncing balls into numbered blocks and clear the most dangerous targets before they descend. Aim each volley so the balls bounce through several numbered blocks before returning. Every hit reduces a block by one, while unbroken blocks descend after the turn and end the run if they reach the bottom.
Controls and screen setup
Drag or move the pointer to set the firing angle, then release or click to launch. Collect extra-ball markers to increase the size of later volleys.
How a run ends
The run usually fails when a move creates isolated gaps or removes the free space needed to rearrange later pieces.
Opening plan
Spend the first turns reading the full board, identify the non-reversible move and preserve at least one flexible route.
Common mistake
Do not solve only the most obvious local match; check what that move leaves behind for the following turn. Use shallow bank shots along a wall to keep balls inside dense clusters and focus first on the lowest high-value block.
