Gameplay

The gameplay of Ricochet Infinity follows the previous trends. The player controls a paddle shield that attached to player ship and must keep at least one ball (called ion sphere) on screen. The objective is to break all breakable blocks in the level by hitting these blocks with the ion sphere(s), lasers or missiles. An ion sphere can be bounced on the shield.

If no ion sphere remains on-screen, the player loses a life. If the player has no lives remaining, the player loses the game and must restart the stage from the beginning.
