Rogue planet

A planet without a star rolls along the bottom of the wall after every shot, and every ball that hits it pushes it the way the ball was going. Any brick it touches gets twice its life and turns violet with a ×2 badge. Hit it enough to knock it away.

How it works

A dark wandering planet sitting below the bottom of the wall, with a life ring.

Effect on your game: Every ball that hits it bounces off and nudges it in the direction the ball was flying, and after every shot it rolls 3 cells along. Every brick it rolls or is pushed into doubles its number (once per brick) and turns violet with a ×2 badge, so you can see which bricks it toughened. Hit it enough (bombs, lasers and rockets take a fifth) to knock it away.

In detail: how each part reacts

A planet 0.85 bricks in radius, starting at one side just under the wall. Its life is 3× the toughest brick (at least 24).
A ball that hits it bounces off, takes 1 off its life (2 for a slung ball) and nudges it a little the way the ball was going, up to 1.6 bricks per shot.
After every shot it rolls 3 bricks along the row and turns round at the edges.
Any brick it rolls or is pushed into doubles its number and turns violet with a ×2 badge, once per brick per stage.
Bombs, lasers and rockets take a fifth of its life. At 0 it's knocked away.
Gentle touch (Tame): bricks get +50% instead of ×2. Wrecking ball (Twist): instead it hits bricks for half their number ("Crunch!"). Small planet (Tame): 30% smaller. Slow roll (Tame): rolls 1 brick a shot.

Tip

Every brick it rolls into doubles its number. Knock it away with direct hits (bombs, lasers and rockets take a fifth of its life) before it toughens the whole bottom row.

In real space

A rogue planet drifts through space without orbiting any star, usually flung out of the system where it formed. Read about it on Wikipedia ↗
