Gameplay[]
The player has to shoot a number ball as many times as they can. Every time two balls hit each other, the number in the middle of the balls will increase by one. When a the number on a ball is the highest that that player has gotten, the player's "best ever" score (located on the side of the screen) will change to that number. Balls with cameos of the faces of other Nitrome characters may appear, but they do not count towards the player's score when they hit other balls.
