Okay hear me out. Peggle has some insane competitive potential. My brother and I occasionally duel in peggle 1 and honestly there's a lot of skill and strategy. I'm thinking the competitive potential could kinda be crazy. I'm imagining two modes.

One would be the regular duel mode where you're both playing on the same board and take turns. I feel that in my experience it honestly isn't a big advantage to go first. That being said, I think opponents should play an equal number of games where one player starts first/second. There's honestly a lot of competitive possibility here.

1. Character selection: my brother and I always just play random, but choosing good characters for levels, especially to possibly counter your opponent could be a valuable skill.

2. Making lower point shots (or even getting a disqualification) to hinder your opponent. Ive found that in levels where there's a "core" that needs to be opened up my brother and I will spend a lot of time dancing around the edges just making sure we hit at least 1 orange so that the other player can't get easy points in the core next turn. This gets very competitive near the end of the game when there's hard to hit red pegs. Sometimes someone in the lead will even intentionally hit nothing just betting on the fact that the other player won't be able to make the shot and will also get disqualified.

3. Shot clock: assuming this became a real thing, would definitely like to see the implementation of a shot clock. Imagine high stakes, fast Peggle where you only have 10 seconds or less to think of a shot and line it up (this gets especially hectic with purples changing spots every round)

The other mode would be more like Classic Tetris duels. Both players would play the same map on different devices but with the same seed, e.g. the map would have oranges/greens in the same spot and purples would move to the same locations (as much as possible). This would require some modding, or for Popcap to get involved and release a special version where you could put in a seed. This mode would be for people with the deepest and most impressive Peggle knowledge. Whoever scores more points wins.

1: Character Selection: It would be a huge factor here. Do you go zenshot for consistency? Maybe take a big risk with Lucky shot (might have to be tweak or ban Warren now that I think about it....). Maybe you're feeling crazy and go kat tut, who knows.

2. Reaction to different layouts and purple changes: Even if you have insane game knowledge, it will still take practice and experience to know what the best shot is going to be with the given layout.

3. Playing style differences: playing style differences could honestly be so interesting from a viewer stand point: someone might try and get as many easy bucket shots as possible while someone might just go right for huge scoring plays. Honestly I could see both versions of competitive Peggle being very interesting to watch. Clutch moments happen all the time in peggle.

4. Bucket skills: honestly probably going to be one of the biggest makers/breakers. If you can get really good at predicting/practicing bucket shots, it's going to give you a huge advantage over your opponent.

5. Once again, shot clock:

Honestly, I know this will probably get like 2 upvotes at most and be taken seriously by no one, but I really think Peggle has a very interesting and serious competitive potential. If you read this all, let me know what you think and let me know if you would play competitive Peggle🙏

Hello, i wanted to play this game with my gf while we are at our respective houses, but i saw there is no online function for peggle deluxe. Is there any way to play it online?

None of these are even similar to each other, much less peggle lol

I’ve been stuck on level 60 for a while, but not because it is hard. I keep beating it and progressing well past it, (like level 65) but when I open the app back up the next day it just shoots me back to level 60 like I never beat it. Wtf? How do I progress?

After playing through up to level 197 (Jimmy is useless on this abomination of a level)
