Powerball is a Breakout-like game for the Commodore 64 that was published in the May 1987 issue of the Compute's! Gazette. Like the game it takes after, the goal is to move a paddle around to get a bouncing ball to hit all the breakable bricks on the screen. You can get powerups from some of bricks to make completing the levels easier. However, what sets this game apart from the other Breakout clones are the bouncing colored "Slivers" that serve as obstacles for the ball.
nymx here completes all ten unique levels in the game as fast as possible with the help of scripts to spawn needed power-ups and manipulate the RNG.
The baseline tab shows the default movie beating the game as fast as possible without any special conditions.
