The hotseat multiplayer mode can be activated from the game's title screen by pressing F3, allowing up to four players. Unlike 1 player mode, multiplayer mode do not allowed cheat codes to prevent spamming free power-ups, instead it replaced any key to release ball and shoot brick shots. After selecting which board-set to play, Player 1 will occupy the game until a paddle has been lost or the board-set has been completed. Whichever comes first, Player 2 takes turn subsequently, and so on, until the cycle starts over. If one player loses all their paddles, the game is left to the remaining players. At the end of the game, only the players who made it through the board-set will be allowed to submit their score on the high score screen.
