My copy arrived a few days ago and I'm really liking it. 

One thing I found that helps me is to not focus on the bricks, but to watch  the bottom half of the screen. 🙂

Welcome to "The Squad" @Gianna 🙂 
I generally hit the launch button right away out of frustration from losing a ball. I did have to leave the game once between balls and the screen went in color-shift mode but hitting the launch button picked the game up from where I left off.
It's easy to burn through 5 balls in this game ... even though they are square.

Keep on trying @Gianna!  Practice really helps on this game.  When you lose a ball, take a moment to catch your breath.  Breath in and out a few times before pushing that button.  That's what I do. 

Awesome!  Yea, you really have to kind of be in a trance when watching where the ball is going.  Thanks for the compliments.  This is a fun game.

Here is my score so far. I played using paddle controllers. It seems like I go a while on the first ball, and then once I lose a ball I go through them really quickly! You guys  have really good scores!
 

Yeah when you go around the screen 6 times & the ball won't hit it then ya gatta risk using the bottom paddle to try & get a different loop.

Just to get on the board. 888. 

Last one for me now.  I am getting good at keeping all three balls in play for a bit but it plays hard on the eyes.

You could first super glue them bits in to get the "D" back then fill outer cavities with hot-melt glue (or play-doh or epoxy

A thing I was curious about happened this game .... cleared a screen with 2 balls in play, hoping one would be trapped above the bricks (that wouldn't have happened in this instance anyways) ... when the bricks reset one of the 2 balls I had in play got disappeared. So I guess no more than 3 balls on the screen at one time.

My goal for today was to break 2,000. 3,041!

New personal best I suppose, I started screwing up by looking at my score during play 🙄 .... just hitting one point blocks at the time made it even worse

 
I was inspired by trying to break the 2k mark ..... great score @greenween

WOW!  Great score, man.  I can see that happening;  you get in a zone, get the double ball going for a while, and when you finally look up at the score, it's way up there.

Good job.  I'll keep trying!
