Peggle

Peggle

Peggle is a game developed by PopCap Games for the Xbox 360 and features a colorful 2D background that is filled with different colored "pegs". It features orange pegs, blue pegs (which have no effect other than increasing the score), purple pegs (which are worth 50 times the amount of the blue pegs), and green pegs (which activate a power-up based on the character the player has selected). The objective in each level is to clear all of the orange pegs by hitting them with a ball shot from the top of the screen. Strategy is applied to bounce the ball off pegs and other obstacles to clear as much of the pegs with the given number of balls. This game even has an option for those who are color blind which adds a triangle to the green pegs and a plus to the purple pegs to make them easier to distinguish. This game has an ESRB: Everyone (E) rating.
