Funkiball Adventure: Game Rules

# How To Play

## Object

The object of the game is to find and collect Artifacts that were stolen and hidden by Dr. Fellowbug. It is up to you steal them back!

## Playing The Game

To start the game, just click to serve the Ball. Then move your mouse to move your Paddle to keep the Ball from going into the Lava below. If you lose all your balls in the Lava, you will have to leave the level to get more Balls.

## Whacking The Ball

Funkiball is not like other games where your Paddle is stuck to just letting the ball hit it and rebound off.

In Funkiball, you can actually hit the ball by Whacking and Smashing it. This will give the ball more energy to do even more destruction that just letting it rebound.

To Whack the Ball, just click the mouse when the Ball comes down. Try to time your clicking so you connect perfectly with the Ball. The better you connect, the more powerful your whack will be.

## Smashing The Ball

To Smash the Ball, first click and then hold down the mouse button (don't release it). Wait until the Paddle starts to charge up (note, you can still hit the ball while charging). Then, when the Paddle is charged up to your liking, wait for the ball. When it comes down, release the mouse button and Smash the Ball!

Like Whacking, the better you connect the more power you will have.

## Power Serve

Like smashing the ball, before serving the ball, click and hold down the mouse button. Then charge up, and let go.

## Catching Loot

Some Bricks, Crates and Jars may be hiding stolen Loot. Breaking them open will release the Loot. But now, you need to catch them before they drop into the Lava. So when you see Loot flying in the air, move your mouse to move your Paddle to catch them, but don't forget the Ball!

## Power Ups

Occasionally, some things will drop out from the Bricks. These are mostly good, such as Split Ball, Shield and Big Ball - but some can be bad, like Faster, or Shrink Paddle.

## Uncovering Artifacts

On some levels, you will find Artifacts that have been hidden. Clear all bricks off of the Artifact and you will uncover it. Finish the level and it will go into your collection.

## Stars

When you finish a level, you will be shown your Loot acquired and any Stars earned. You will be awarded Stars based on certain goals, such as Time or Only Using One Ball. It is fun to see if you can be awarded every Star!

Note, stars will be saved between levels. So each new star you get is added to your current star award.

## Secrets!

On each level, a Secret is hidden (a golden puzzle piece). Collecting them will open up Bonus Levels in the the Lab
