Here is a treat for everyone (big time for newbies), a special page I have set up for pop-pop, special hints, tricks & how to. I will add more of these to my page and post them as time goes on, here are 3 for starters:
- Combating Mini-T (the wind blowing vac) - Don't bounce your ball up and down, do it diagonally! - Using your magnet to get to the cream filling!

Very good advice. I don't need it but it's still good.

I already use the magnet a lot. The thing's my best friend these days, especially when I'm really losing it (which happens often).

another tip to add, i find this really helpful.
the key to spamming with special and pulling the special off:
first off, you need bricks, and a lot of them. save bricks up until your about half way up the screen.
people often hit the ball really hard and it comes flying back at them before they can even get the charge 1/3 the way up. to pull it off safley and easily, clear a special path of bricks, make it pretty far up so you have a lot of time to charge, but not all the way, you want dont want to be waiting for it to come back forever. you want the ball to hit the paddle about 1 second after the charge is done. keep repeating the process quickly. but be aware of the bricks, as you spam, you get caught up in spamming and often lose track of where the other bricks are that you havent cleared, and lose by getting to caught up in it.
ive had people even ask me how i spam them so fast, it works well, but its difficult to keep track where the bricks are.
------------------ People always say that thier going to be shot down by women when they go to ask them out. Why dont they just wear a flak jacket?

Those are some good tips, I'll have to use them.

When you get the green ball how does you make it go diagonally I have doe it sometimes when I haven't really known what I did

To use the green ball correctly (at an angle) simply click your primary fire button before catching the ball, as if you were charging your paddle. Once you do that, you can just hit it as if it were a regular ball, and it will fly off at an angle destroying everything it touches. Follow it up with a special (a string of bombs seems to work well for me) and it can single-handedly crush some opponents.

Here's another trick to add that my brother found out: If you repeatly use your magnet everytime your ball hits the paddle then you'll get a big charge meter quickly
