X -BALL

X -B A L L

by

Richard.L.Wright

To complete each screen in X-Ball, the ball must be guided so that it hits

each pair of matching tiles. Once a tile is hit it will be highlighted and

when the tile that matches it is hit, both tiles will disappear.

However, if an unmatching tile is hit first then all of the tiles will

reappear.

The ball can be guided left and right and also boosted (each press of the

SPACEBAR boosts the ball further up the screen).
