Pegball Unblocked
Ten balls, fourteen orange pegs and a lot of lucky bounces in between.
What is Pegball?
Pegball is a peg-clearing game driven by physics. You launch a ball from a cannon above a tall board, and it bounces down through rows of pegs, clearing each one it hits. To win you must remove all 14 orange pegs using 10 balls, and landing in the moving bucket at the bottom earns an extra ball.

Pegball is all about the moment after you let go. Up top, a cannon points down into a tall forest of blue pegs, and 14 orange ones hide among them. You pick an angle, fire, and then just watch as the ball pinballs from peg to peg, lighting each one up and clearing it a moment later. Hit every orange peg before you are out of balls and the round is yours. Frank Force built Pegball as part of the LittleJS Arcade collection, and you can play it unblocked here on a computer or phone.
Reading the Board
Press PLAY to start. The cannon swings through a wide arc, and a dotted line shows where the ball will leave. Once fired, gravity takes over and the ball rebounds off whatever it touches. Struck pegs fade shortly after, leaving more open space with every ball.
Three peg types matter. Blue pegs are the filler. Orange pegs are the targets, and you need every one of them. A single green power peg drops everything into slow motion for a few seconds, which lets you follow the ball’s path more easily.
You get 10 balls. Along the bottom, a gold bucket slides from side to side. Land in it and you get a ball back. Numbers along the upper edge track points, orange pegs left and balls in reserve.
Each shot builds a combo. Hits one to four score normally, five to eight score double, nine to twelve score triple, and so on. Boards are randomized, so the targets and the power peg move around each game.

Shots That Pay Off
Think of each ball as both an attack and a setup. These ideas help:
- Open lanes first. Clearing blue pegs around a cluster of orange ones makes later shots far more reliable.
- Clip pegs on the side. A glancing hit kicks the ball off at an angle toward its neighbors. A dead-center hit tends to bounce it straight back up and waste the shot.
- Use the green peg when the field is full. Its slow motion is most valuable with many pegs still below the ball.
- Watch the bucket before long drops. On a shot that falls straight down, wait until the bucket is heading toward where the ball will land.
- Play safe at the end. With one or two orange pegs left, a precise aim beats a flashy combo.
A Small Game With a Big Pull
Pegball is easy to pick up and hard to put down, because there is always the hope that the next ball will chain through half the board. Rounds are short, your best score is kept, and it works with almost any input. For more aim-and-bounce fun, try Pinball or the trick shots of Gravity Golf.
Pegball: questions players ask
Is Pegball mostly luck?
There is luck in every bounce, but aiming matters a lot. Glancing hits, clearing paths early and timing the bucket all raise your odds. Careful aimers win far more often than players who fire at random.
What are the different peg colors worth?
A blue peg is worth 100, an orange peg 1,000 and the single green peg 5,000. The current combo step then multiplies each value. Only the orange pegs count toward winning the round.
How do I earn extra balls in Pegball?
Get the ball to fall into the moving gold bucket at the base of the board. Every catch adds one ball to your supply and pays a 2,500-point bonus.
Can I play Pegball on a phone?
Yes. Tap where you want to aim to fire. The board is tall, so it fits best with the phone held upright. Gamepads and keyboards work too on a computer.
