So, you aim and shoot, your ball bounces around, then eventually pops out at the bottom – if you're lucky, it'll go in the ball bucket and you get to use the same ball again if you're not, you start again with a new ball from your limited collection. Your ball begins at the top of the screen, lurking above an array of metal pins – you need to clear all the orange ones to access the next level.
So what is Peggle? Well, it's sort of Breakout meets pinball, via Puzzle Bobble and pachinko. It is also just about the perfect mobile game, requiring the player to simply aim and press 'shoot' – even the trickiest of keypads will have a job making that difficult. Last year, it was in at number 40 on PC Gamer's '100 most addictive games of all time' list. As a member of Popcap's, quartet of blockbusting, genre-defining casual titles (alongside Bejeweled, Bookworm and Zuma), Brian Rothstein's classic has quietly extended its reach onto a myriad of platforms, from PC and Mac to iPod and, later this year, Nintendo DS. I know, I know, not everyone cares, but there have been some interesting releases recently and this game's perfect if you're looking for a compelling, instantly accessible time-waster…īut then, surely you know Peggle. PopCap, now a subsidiary of Electronic Arts, have announced Peggle 2 at the E3 2013 convention.O kay, here's another mobile game review. Both its release on Xbox Live Arcade and iOS have enjoyed similar success. Peggle initially sold slowly but was boosted by the inclusion of a specially designed demonstration in Valve's The Orange Box, and has since enjoyed over 50 million downloads from the Internet. Special powers associated with a number of cartoon "Peggle Masters" can be activated to aid the player in this task. Inspired by pachinko and bagatelle, each level of Peggle challenges the player to shoot a limited supply of balls at a field of colored pegs to clear out specifically marked pegs while attempting to achieve a high score through skilled shot planning. A sequel was released in September 2008, titled Peggle Nights. Initially released for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X systems in 2007, it has since had versions released for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, the Nintendo DS (with the help of Q Entertainment), Windows Mobile, iOS, Zeebo and Android the game has also been ported as a Java application, and an extended minigame incorporated into the massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft. Peggle is a casual puzzle video game developed by Sukhbir Sidhu and Brian Rothstein of PopCap Games.
