Score points by using the ball to knock bricks out of the wall, hitting the dragon beyond the bricks, or catching the Mystery Token for bonus points. When the player clears four brick waves, he automatically advances to the next skill level.

SCORING

Bricks	1 to 5 points each.
Catching Mystery token, Peasant level	50 points.
Catching Mystery token, Student level	75 points.
Catching Mystery token, Master level	100 points.

TIPS AND TRICKS

If you hit the ball at an angle into the brick field, it bounces off the inside bricks and knocks out far more bricks than a direct hit.

Be careful not to move Lu too fast or you could overshoot the ball.

Use your tokens strategically.

Try to use the Blackbird to your advantage.

The M token is great for killing the dragon.
