Waterfall

One shot. A whole cascade.

Run from anywhere in CLI-Games$ waterfall

Aim through glass pegs and watch one good angle open the board.

A bright droplet, a field of glass pegs, and one good angle. Slide the spout along the rail, choose power and aim, and watch a shot bounce through the garden. Every peg counts toward the displayed clear target. Struck pegs flash and dissolve, opening fresh routes for the next shot.

Eight balls to start; gardens continue without a level limit. Each garden has exactly one ball-plus peg. Clear it by contact or blast to add one ball to the tank. Clearing a garden carries the remaining balls forward without an automatic refill. The run ends after the last ball drains. A missed angle costs a drop; retry is immediate. Saved Bash scripts use the very same shot commands, with visible peg coordinates and repeatable gardens.

Three-ring pegs add two droplets. Bomb pegs clear nearby pegs and reverse the striking ball. Shield pegs make all remaining pegs invulnerable for two seconds of the shot. Question marks reveal one of these effects on contact.
