About Peg Drop

Aim a spark-orb into a shaft of glowing pegs. It lights everything it touches; those pegs disappear after the shot. Clear every orange rune before your ten orbs run out.

How to play

Goal
Light every ember rune on the board with the orbs you have.
How it ends
The board is won when the last ember rune is lit, and lost when your orbs run out with any still dark.
Record
The best score and the fewest orbs for each board.
  1. Point with the mouse to aim the lantern and click to loose an orb; on a touch screen drag on the well to aim and tap Loose. The dotted line ends at the first stone the orb will touch; ← → turn the aim a little.
  2. Every stone the orb touches lights and crumbles away when the orb has left the well. Light every orange ember rune to win.
  3. Catch the orb in the sliding cradle, or score 25,000 in one shot, to get an orb back. Each orb left when the board is won is worth 10,000.
