Maximizing your High Score
Hello there! I am Humanvegetable. I'm the guy that's got a big score and who is going to help you get a big score too.
I blocked out most of my initials, but that's me. As you see, my partner in crime, ELF, has tried valiantly to defeat me but my DIVINE PEGGLE POWER was too great.

There are a few things you have to do in order to maximize your high score. Keep these in the back of your mind.

Big Picture Strategies.
1. Don't die. If you die, you don't get the maximum bonus at the end.
2. Try to get 100%.
3. Perform a lot of skill shots. Especially long shot.

Level Strategies.
You main goal is to clear 100% in order to ensure that your score is maximized with a guaranteed end-level bonus of 100,000 points. You can easily do this with free balls.

In order to start the process to get free balls, you have to get rid of all the oranges first to maximize the score multiplier. Avoid hitting the blues at first, as counter-productive as this may seem.

Try to shoot the highest pegs first. That way you have a higher chance of hitting stuff as the ball goes down/

Once you have the score multiplayer at the maximum level, you have to attempt to get free balls by hitting a purple peg and a few blue/orange pegs. If you left an adequate amount of blue pegs left over, this is fairly easy, and you can get rid of many pegs this way and get free balls.

With most of the blue pegs out of the way, you can easily get Bucket Skill Shot points (check next section).

If you can get free points through trick shots at any time, I highly recommend it. Long shots are an especially good way to rack up easy points.

For more precise movement, tap left/right (or use mouse wheel) and shoot with "enter" or "left click". Use right click to speed up the bucket to save some time.

That's all there is to Peggle! Keep reading below for more advanced techniques.

For a full list of trick shots, check "help" in the puase menu screen.
Trick Shots and Free Balls
Trick Shots
Trick Shot: Long Shot
You can get free points often if you can pull these shots off. Basically, you have to get your ball to hit a non-blue peg, bounce a distance, and hit another non-blue peg. I highly recommend doing this often. If you can get your ball to hit a non-blue peg and have it bounce towards the general direction of another non-blue peg, you're half way there! This takes some practice and a small amount of luck.

Trick Shot: Slide
You'll know if you can make slide shot. Lots of free points and possibly a free ball! Don't forget to try for a bucket shot for yet another free ball.

Free Balls
Make sure the ball is going to bounce where the bucket is headed. Frequent free balls gives you an immediate skill shot point bonus.

If you shoot the ball at this angle at a peg, you can easily force your ball to quickly drop down towards the ground. If you time this correctly, you can easily get a free ball if it lands in the bucket.

If you shoot your ball so that it bounces somewhere towards one side of the map, you have a good chance of getting it into the bucket. If you can estimate where the ball is going to land, that's a free ball! Close enough is good enough.

This is essentially a guaranteed free ball! All you have to do is put your cursor in a certain position on one of the bottom pegs and click once the bucket is close enough.
