Lives are restored over time, with one life coming back every half hour up to a maximum of five. You can also get free lives by linking the game to Facebook and accepting gifts from friends, or by finishing daily tasks and special events that give extra lives as prizes.

Power-ups are special boosts like the Double Peg, Lucky Spin, or Free Ball that help you clear levels. You can turn them on before starting a level by tapping the power-up slot. Some are earned through playing, while others can be bought with coins or gems. Each power-up can be used only once per level.

Levels in Peggle Blast are meant to be tough. If you are stuck, try playing earlier levels again to earn more stars and coins, upgrade your magic hats (which give extra skills), or use power-ups wisely. You can also watch a video hint (if available) to see a suggested shot path.

Magic hats are unlocked as you move through different worlds and by finishing certain level goals. Each hat gives your Peggle Master a unique skill, such as extra points, a wider ball, or a fireball shot. To wear a hat, go to the 'Master' screen and tap the hat icon to choose it before starting a level.

Yes, you can play the main levels offline. However, features like daily tasks, special events, scoreboards, and buying items with real money need an internet connection. If you play offline, your progress will sync when you reconnect, but some social rewards may not be available until then.
