The 3D elements are activated and adjusted when they are hit by a ball (first occurs at level 21) - An initial puck trajectory, displayed when launching a ball, enables the player to determine the best position from where to start the new ball - Bullet pucks – a temporary ball that can be fired by touching the screen: an initial launch trajectory is displayed to help the player to decide when to fire.
