Battleball Power-up Guide!

[Jordy]

Since at first it can be very confusing. I've done a guide to battleball power-ups!

Light Bulb
The Spotlight is a fairly popular power-up and when you activate one, all the squares (left, right, centre, infront, behind, diagonals) get increased by 1. So basically all the empty squares near you get added to the 'first level' of a square. If a square is on the second level it'll get increased to third level. if a square is third level it'll get increased so it's invincible...

Flashlight
This is probably the most common power-up and probably the least useful. When you activate it, about 10 squares infront of you (The direction your facing) get increased by 1 level, as explained by above, except it's only the ones infront of you. This is only useful at the beginning of a game, near the end, it's useless.

Nails

This is a matter of luck if this power-up is any use. Once activated lots of nails go randomly anywhere in the arena and when anyone goes on a square with a nail on, they'll be 'knocked out' and can't moved for around 5 seconds. This can be annoying if it happens to you, or someone on your own team. However it can be useful to knock out your opponents and steal their squares! After around 10 seconds the nails will begin disappearing.

Spring
This is a very useful power-up and is used to your advantage. When activated the empty squares (or not invinsible) you bounce over get to become invincible in your colour. So it saves bouncing on them 3 times before they're invincible. You get this effect on yourself for around 10 seconds.

Cannon
This is a very popular power-up and one of my favourites. When activated, you'll zoom as far forward as possible in the direction your facing! It'll run over ANY square (Even opponents) and will completely cover every square in your colour so they are invincible. After you've gone across the whole arena though (drawn a line) you'll be knocked out for around 5 seconds after you've gone so fast.

Bomb
This is a common power-up and most peoples favourite. When activated it'll blow nearly all the squares around you so they are blank and need refilling! This is really useful near the end of the game for blowing up your opponents squares and grabbing them extra points. When activated it'll also knock out yourself and other people near it for around 5 seconds.

Vacuum Cleaner
This is a fairly useless and uncommon power-up and once activated it'll dig up all the squares you bounce on so they are blank again. Not very useful as it can on be done for around 10 seconds so you can't get very many of your opponents squares.

Harlquin
This is very rare to get (You see about 1 in every 5 games) and is leaful but won't really help you that much. Once activated EVERYONE in the arena's ball will be changed to your colour for 10 seconds, meaning when they bounce on squares, they'll be your colour. Usually when it's activated, everyone will just stop bouncing, but if you've got some newbies playing, it takes them a while to realise

There is also a power-up in the shape of a yellow '?' if you get that, its a secret power-up (One of the above) so no one else will know but yourself which power-up it is, useful if it's a bomb (Which usually it is).

Also once you've picked up (Bounced) on the power-up they'll be a clock that appears next to it, and if you don't set it off yourself quick enough. A timer will appear with 10 seconds on it, and it'll set its self off automatically on 0 which can be annoying.

Hopefully I've described all the power-ups best I could. It's really hard to explain

Nice should be stuck

Hi, nice guide but I don't really agree with some bits of it, them timings are a little longer and some are more useful than you say. The nails aren't random, they go a bit in front of you, and harlequin isn't that rare.
