I ask again. How are you ppl getting all these extra lives? There just aren't that many given out.

You just collect them over time. I've had as many as 12, but only a couple of times. The only real "trick" (and I don't even think it qualifies as a "trick" -- probably just more coincidence than anything else) is that if you get a life on Level 1, you seem to get more "life pills" as the game progresses. Call it superstition, but if neither of the two pills on level 1 are "life", I just restart the game.

More importantly, HOW DO I GET THAT FRIGGIN' DISAPPEARING BALL BACK?!!! Level 29, 14K points (both well past my current record) and EIGHT LIVES and the ball disappeared!!!!! AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH....any help? Anyone?

I recently changed the software on my BB 8700C and I have started losing balls fairly regularly. Most recently on level 17 with 6 lives left. I have not reset the game and have been waiting about two days. Last week I was on level 16 with 12 lives left and on brick that needed on hit to go and my ball went off the reservation. I left the game on overnight and the ball came back in later the next day.

My assumptions on the question of how to get more lives... "Life"'s, as all other capsules, occur randomly. It does not make a difference whether you get one, two or none on the first screen. However, if I don't have a few on hte first few levels, I usually abort. I have encountered as many as 16 before losing any and as few as 6 well into the game.

I've gotten stuck many of times. Not much you can do about it other than man up and try again. Tip: if your on catch and the ball is in the extreme corner aim the ball away from the wall otherwise its gone. Also when the bricks start coming down wait till they get a couple of clicks down away from the ceiling to hit them. Try getting stuck and 2nd round level 29 with 33000

Same here. I've now left the 8100 on for 3 days with no success. Up to 30,300 with 13 lives! One woman claimed that if she left hers on for a week, the ball would return. I'm still waiting...for the ball and a bug fix from Plazmic.

I knew this was the answer. But I can't wait for a week for the game to give me my ball back.

This is wrong. I believe we may all be the part of a psychological experiment.

Last high score 32850
Now at 81130 with 29 lives and my ball goes by by

hi guys, ive been laughing out loud at some of your problems, sorry, level 16 is the hardest and uses up a lot of lives but once you get past it its easier,well a little, as for lives ive had as many as 150 and my best score is 1273000, sorry again, but now im stuck, ive reached a level where as soon as my ball hits the wall or a brick i get told to try again without any loss of live, as a consequence i cant progress any further, can anyone HELP ME PLEASE

picklechunks · 11-17-2007, 07:47 PM

I have twin boys that LOVE playing Brick Breaker on my BB, but they're only 6...obviously too young for a cell phone, much less a BB and they can't always have access to mine...so I'm wondering if there is an electronic handheld version made? I'm sure I can find a copy to dowload to my pc, but i really want something they can take with them or that we can dowload to their video ipods. Any suggestions??? Thanks so much!
