Easy one this, simply activate the game, ignore the instructions about the multiplier bonus, jump to the platform closest to the 'hoops' and look for the ball.
Once you find it use your Kinesis to grab it and shoot it into any of the hoops, grabbing it again as it comes back out of the hoops. Keep going until the time runs out and you will progress onto the next level so just go to the start platform and repeat.
There are six levels and the achievement opens as soon the time runs out on level six. |

Some other tips for this one that helped me out.
Firstly, when playing the game - have a gun with a small aiming laser (contact/plasma are good, but most should work).
Secondly, getting the ball into the "hoop" without hitting any of the sides of the "hoop" will award two points, instead of one, for a non-multiplier shot.
Use the small aiming lazer of your chosen gun and aim for the middle of the hoop, should make it easy work, even at stage 6.
All the best ^^ |

Just to add to Er3bos all you need for each round is 20 points to progress to the next round. Having a weapon with a small aiming laser, such as the plasma cutter, makes this a really simple game.
As you progress higher in levels the panels start to cover some, or sometimes all, of the "hoops", just wait for one to open up and shoot it in. If you grab the ball as it comes back out of a hoop and immediately shoot it back you can beat the panel easily enough.
As an added bonus each level you complete unlocks a locker in the room where the instructions were.
Level 1: Random ammo
Level 2: Medium med pack
Level 3: Stasis Pack
Level 4: 3000 credits
Level 5: Ruby semi-conductor
Level 6: Power node
For the first level or two I jumped around to get the bonus panels because it can actually be a semi-fun and challenging mini game but for the easy 5 gs go with the above strategy. |

People are painting this achievement as easy... Well I didn't find it that simple.
Now, the above techniques (Forget jumping around - hop to the front-centre platform and simply play catch) work PERFECTLY. No quarrels there.
My problem was that I was grabbing and throwing the ball so quickly, pressing B then instantly pulling R, that the ball got stuck.. Like maybe either the ball went INTO the basket before it activated, or more likely just hit the rim and bounced into the black but not past the 'score' line... Either way, I didn't get the point, couldn't telekinesis the ball back (which is what makes me think it did go in, just didn't count) and try again, and repeatedly had to sit there for 60 seconds while the game timed out, try and start a new one, be given no ball, and have to reload my save and start again from level 1 (it's happened thrice on level 5 now).
This was so frustrating, I'm so sick of Z-Ball, and I may never get this achievement because at time of writing, i'm so angry i might not play the game again.
So my tip is, take it SLOW, don't try and fire the ball back into the basket before it's covered over, just go for the one they don't cover. It's laborious, but at least you don't have to do it a thousand times. |
