Overview
GENESIS and the Seven Archangels
In Angel Egg, each player is an angel on probation. To help God create the Earth (GENESIS), players must summon the Archangels by collecting the angels' eggs; and invoke the Spirits of Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind.
Who controls Multiball controls Angel Egg

-Angel Egg is a multiball-oriented game. Its very rules are oriented toward multiball play; a player's score directly reflects his or her multiball skill. Therefore, starting multiball play in Angel Egg is easy. (There are six ways: Four for invoking Spirits, and two for summoning Archangels.) You can start multiball by meeting a few simple conditions and locking a ball. However, you won't get a high score just by starting multiball. (True, you'll have a chance for a Jackpot, but its value will not be very high.)To reach a high score in Angel Egg, you must keep as many balls in play as you can, while summoning Archangels and Spirits -- though keeping many balls going makes it difficult to attack and defend. What makes Angel Egg unique is that the higher-scoring features change their value according to the number of the balls on the playfield. Naturally, the ultimate feature -- Genesis -- can not be achieved without good multiball play. Though it is possible to get all the features with only two balls in play, your score will be much, much higher if you do the same while playing multiple balls. |

You may know what a challenge it is playing with several balls. Angel Egg will show you that six-ball multiball is very different from mere two- or three-ball multiball. Under these chaotic conditions, you'll need courage, coolness, and a sense of strategy to hit your targets. The best way is to keep all but one or two balls away from flippers -- by sending them to the bumpers, or by shooting them onto ramps which take them some time to travel. Indeed, these devices that may frustrate you during single-ball play will suddenly seem like your friends. |
What should you do once multiball begins?
The first thing you should do is summon the Archangels. (While you can summon Archangels in single-ball play, you can't get a Super Jackpot after summoning them; that's when the features score the lowest.) Summoning Archangels not only leads to Genesis, but awards various benefits. Note: Choose carefully which Archangels you summon!
IV. Nudging brings you evangel It's important to use left and right side nudging to get a high score in Angel Egg. This is necessary to control balls falling from the upper floor, as well as reviving kickbacks, and summoning the Spirit of Water. As in all pinballs, the flippers are essential, as is the combination of sling shots with nudging.
Genesis cannot be achieved in one day
Even after you've summoned the Seven Archangels, it'll take all your concentration, daring, and skill to reach Genesis. You may find words like "strategic" or "precise judgment" in Angel Egg's manual -- but just as often, when there's no time to think, you'll need pure instinct and reflexes. The right balance of enthusiasm and cool judgment will enable you to reach Genesis. But even reaching Genesis doesn't guarantee a high score. What is the key to that? Indeed, what is the secret of climbing the last step of the stairway?... Angel Egg has a lot of unique features.

About angels
Many angels appear in Angel Egg. The Seven Archangels play an important part in the game. It is said there is a celestial hierarchy consisting of the Nine Choirs, which can be classified into three distinct groups:
The Highest Triad
1. Seraphim 2. Cherubim 3. Thrones
The Middle Triad
4. Dominations 5. Virtues 6. Powers
The Lowest Triad
7. Principalities 8. Archangels 9. Angels
Seraphims and Cherubims are often painted as mysterious winged faces without bodies. The Archangels whom you summon in Angel Egg are the most famous angels. Because they have been close to people, they appear in many books and legends, including the Bible. You can enjoy Angel Egg more by understanding their characters.
