Earn a gift card, worth up to $250 USD, when you play Crater Commander.

How to win: Blast your way to a high score by clearing the gameboard of colored balls with the help of your cannon. Points are scored when your shot-ball collides with two or more balls of the same color, causing a chain reaction of cosmic proportions.

Every week, the highest-scoring 10 players will be awarded a gift card between $10 - $250 USD.

You can add to your score by clearing as many stationary balls with a single shot-ball and by bouncing your shot-ball off the walls of the gameboard before connecting with its target. Be careful though: after five shots, the gameboard will drop down two lines closer to the cannon, regardless of your score.

The game is over when:

A shot ball or gameboard ball touches the cannon line

There are on more shot-balls to launch

The timer runs out

Upon completing the game you will be presented with a "Game over" page and a final score. At the end of the game period, as defined in the Official Rules, the top 10 player scores will be selected for the gift cards. There is a limit of one (1) prize per participant during the entire Contest Period.
