Atlantis Evolution Hints

How do I play (and win) Zanat's game?

  • 1 of 10: Use that helmet (again!) to start.  This game is a version of Pong.
  • 2 of 10: You can control the paddle on the left.  The paddle on the right is controlled by the computer.  Use the mouse to move the paddle up and down (you won't have to hold down any buttons, just move the mouse).
  • 3 of 10: To play the game, you will need to hit the ball, whenever it reaches the left side of the screen, so that it bounces back to the right side of the screen.
  • 4 of 10: If you miss the ball five times, the game will end and you will have to start over.
  • 5 of 10: When your computer opponent misses the ball enough times, the shield in front of the beetle will be destroyed (the computer will need to miss about five times). 
  • 6 of 10: From that point, continue to hit the beetle with the ball until the beetle breaks (about six times).
  • 7 of 10: There aren't many strategies possible, although it does seem as though the computer misses the ball more often as the game progresses.
  • 8 of 10: The computer also seems to miss more often when the computer's paddle is near one end of the screen and your paddle returns the ball to the opposite side of the screen.
  • 9 of 10: Using different parts of the paddle to return the ball can change the angle that the ball moves.
  • 10 of 10: You will need to win this game three times (in a row) to discontinue the copies.
