Level 39: Falling Pyramid 39

Level 39 uses a falling pyramid made from Glass, Tin. Its 27 targets reward a low opening shot and patience between impacts.

Quick answer

Level 39 uses a falling pyramid made from Glass, Tin. Its 27 targets reward a low opening shot and patience between impacts.

Shot-by-shot plan

1. Use shot one on the lowest glass element nearest the shared center.
2. Start a controlled chain reaction and let moving pieces hit the next layer. Watch all 27 targets before firing again.
3. Keep the final 5 reserve shots for anything left near an edge.

Why this works

The falling pyramid concentrates weight through a small number of contact points. Removing the glass path transfers that weight sideways, so gravity does more work than a direct hit on every target.

Common mistakes

• Firing again while the falling pyramid is still moving wastes the 14-ball budget.
• Aiming high can leave a stable base and force an avoidable cleanup shot.
