Metal Shooter: Free Metal Ball Puzzle Game

Metal Shooter is a free metal ball matching game on SFC Games. Aim the cannon, bank shots off the side walls, and land each metal ball next to two or more of the same color to clear them. Clear the whole board before the stack reaches the line above the cannon.

About Metal Shooter

Metal Shooter is a single player puzzle game that runs in your web browser. The board holds polished metal balls in five colors, set in rows that alternate between 12 and 11 metal balls. Every round starts from a new generated board in one of six shapes, such as waves, towers and split formations. Clear every metal ball to win. When a round ends, the result screen shows your score and a Play again button for a fresh board.

How to Play Metal Shooter

• Goal: clear every metal ball from the board. You lose if any of them reaches the line where the dark playfield meets the lighter cannon area.
• Mouse: move the pointer to aim, then click to shoot.
• Touch: drag your finger to aim, then lift it to shoot.
• Keyboard: select the board, then use the left and right arrow keys to aim. Hold Shift to aim more slowly. Press Space or Enter to shoot.
• Land a metal ball so it touches two or more of its color. The whole group clears, and any metal balls left with nothing holding them up fall away too.
• A shot that clears nothing adds a new row of metal balls at the top and pushes the board down.

Metal Shooter Tips

• Follow the dotted aim guide. It marks each wall bounce and the spot where the metal ball will land, rings the metal balls that will clear, and shows a count such as "5 Pop" when a shot will clear three or more. If the guide turns red, that landing spot would reach the line and end the round.
• Check the Next metal ball beside the cannon and plan two shots ahead.
• The cannon only loads colors that are still on the board, so once a color is gone you will not be handed it again.
• Points come only from metal balls that were on the starting board: 10 for each one cleared in a match and 20 for each one that falls. Removing more than 3 starting metal balls in one shot adds a bonus of 5 x N x (N - 3), where N is the number of starting metal balls removed.
• Metal balls you fire, and those in new rows, score nothing, and clearing the board gives no extra points. Dropping big hanging groups from the starting board is the fastest way to a high score.
