This is a short warning before you attempt to play. You should get over 1 million extra lives in round 1. Do not think the name of round 1 is some kind of joke because it is the truth. The next 9 rounds will start taking the lives back from you however; not all of them. Every round in this set is fast so if you play on easy or hard; the speed of the game play will not have much difference. I would not recommend anyone to play this set on the hard difficulty as it has a lot of 3 - hit bricks; in fact I am nor recommending anyone to play it at all. All the rings are almost easily obtainable however if you miss out on any; then you would probably have to start from the beginning of the set to get them. I made this to test my own ability for getting the 1 million Ions without crashing the computer and nothing else. So I already have that success. Overall; you will not have complete control of the ball but a little. If you decide to play and don't like it then don't say you weren't warned.
